NOTES ON INSTALLING CAMSHAFT BEARING BRIDGE - AH05.20-P-2000-01AV
Engines 112, 113 except 113.960, 113.960 except cylind er shutoff codes 479, 113.962/982/993, 112.951/976
Pay attention to the following notes before installing the camshaft bearing bridges:
Lubricate the camshaft bearings.
Due to tolerance reasons, the camshafts must not be replaced individually.
If the camshaft bearing bridge is damaged, replace th e cylinder head complete with the camshaft bearing
bridge.
It not permitted to reuse the bolts M7 X84; these must always be replaced.
Pay attention to tightening torque, slackening di agram and tightening diagram of the bolts M7x84.
