REFITTING
The alignment of the sub-frame with the body
will be made easier by positioning two threaded
rods Mot. 1233-01 in the two front mountings of
the sub-frame on the body.
Tighten the sub-frame mounting bolts to a torque
of:
- 6.2 daN.m at the front,
-10.5 daN.m at the rear.
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Fit the heat shields correctly.
Apply
Loctite FRENBLOC to the caliper mounting
bolts and tighten them to the recommended tor-
que.
Press the brake pedal several times to bring the
pistons into contact with the brake pads.
Fill:
- the engine and gearbox with oil, if necessary,
- the cooling circuit and bleed it (see section 19
"Filling - bleeding"). E7J engine
Fix tool Mot. 1040-01 underneath the sub-frame.
98755R1
Lower the lift until the tool touches the ground.
Remove the sub-frame mounting bolts and take
out the engine and transmission assembly by lif-
ting the body.
NOTE : for any operation requiring separation of
the engine, gearbox and sub-frame assembly,
take care to mark the position of Mot. 1159 on the
sub-frame.

TOP AND FRONT OF ENGINE
Cylinder head gasket

92076S
CLEANING
It is very important not to scratch the gasket faces
of the aluminium components.
Use the Décapjoint product to dissolve any part of
the gasket which remains attached.
Apply the product to the parts to be cleaned; wait
about ten minutes, then remove it using a
wooden spatula.
Wear gloves whilst carrying out this operation.
Care must be taken whilst carrying out this ope-
ration in order to avoid any foreign bodies ente-
ring the oilways supplying oil under pressure to
the camshaft (oilways are located both in the cy-
linder block and the cylinder head).
Failure to follow to this advice could lead to the
blocking of the jets and thus cause rapid deterio-
ration of the cams and tappets.
CHECKING THE GASKET FACE
Check for gasket face bow using a straight edge
and a set of shims .
Maximum deformation : 0.05 mm.
No regrinding of the cylinder head is permitted.
REFITTING
The cylinder head is centred by two dowels at the
rear of the engine.
REMINDER: in order to obtain the correct tighte-
ning of the bolts, use a syringe to remove any oil
which may have entered the cylinder head moun-
ting bolt holes .
Grease the threads and under the bolt heads with
engine oil.
Adjustment of the valve rockers and tightening
of the cylinder head should be carried out when
the engine is cold. D7F Engine
