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.

- the connector of the injector with sensor,
along with the fast idle solenoid valve connec-
tor (5),
- the fuel supply and return unions at (A) and

Disconnect connector (6) from the diesel fuel fil-
ter, remove it from its support and move the die-
sel fuel filter pipe assembly to one side. Place bracket Mot. 1159 at the mounting of the

Remove the fuel pipe support (7).
Slacken the mounting bolts for the lower timing
cover, without removing them.

Remove :
- the accessories belt tensioning system,
- the cylinder head bolts.
Release the cylinder head by setting aside the
lower part of the lower camshaft housing,
without causing the cylinder head to pivot, since
this is centred by the two dowels at ( C ).
Using a syringe, extract any oil which may have
entered the cylinder head mounting holes .
This is necessary in order to obtain the correct
tightening of the bolts.
Protect the oil outlet duct in order to prevent any
foreign bodies from entering the oilways in the
cylinder head.
Failure to take this advice could lead to the
blocking of the oilways, resulting in a rapid dete-
rioration of the camshaft. F8Q Engine

REFITTING (special notes)
Refit the cylinder head gasket selected previous-
ly. This is centred by two dowels at (C).
99173-1R
Bring the pistons to mid-stroke position to
prevent them from coming into contact with the
valves during the tightening of the cylinder head .
Centre the cylinder head on the dowels.
Lubricate the threads and under the heads of the
mounting bolts.
Tighten the cylinder head (see section 07
"Tightening the cylinder head").
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Refit the timing belt, (see method described in
section 11 "Timing belt").
Fill and bleed the cooling circuit , (see section 9
"Filling -bleeding").
MEASURING THE THICKNESS OF THE CYLINDER
HEAD GASKET
Checking piston protrusion
Clean the piston heads in order to eliminate any
traces of deposits.
Turn the crankshaft in its operating direction
once, to bring piston n° 1 close to
TDC .
Fit tool Mot. 252-01 on the piston.
Fit tool Mot. 251-01, complete with dial gauge
Mot. 252-01. on the plate Ensure that the dial
gauge measuring pin is in contact with the cylin-
der block; then locate the piston
TDC.
NOTE
: All measurements are to be carried out in
the longitudinal axis of the engine, in order to eli-
minate any errors due to tilting of the piston.
99173R
Measure the piston protrusion.
ONLY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE
DIMENSIONS OF THE PISTON WITH THE
GREATEST PROTRUSION.
For a maximum piston protrusion:
- lower than 0.868 mm, use a gasket marked by
a tab with two holes ,
- included between 0.868 mm and 1mm, use a
gasket marked by a tab with one hole,
- greater than 1mm, use a gasket marked by a
tab with three holes. F8Q Engine

REPLACEMENT OF VALVE ADJUSTERS
In order to carry out this operation it is necessary
to remove the inlet and exhaust manifolds (see
section 12 Inlet/Exhaust Manifolds) .
Fully open the valve concerned (by turning the
engine in its operating direction).
Insert tool Mot. 1366-01 into the duct concerned .
11231R
For inlet valves
Turn the engine in the operating direction,in
order to bring the valve into contact with tool
Mot. 1366-01 (rotate the camshaft by 90° in
relation to the fully open position).
For the exhaust valves
It is vital to turn the engine in the opposite direc-
tion to normal operation (in order to avoid the
locking of the engine), until the valve comes into
contact with tool Mot. 1366-01 (rotate camshaft
by 90° in the relation to the fully open position).
Extract the valve adjuster using a screwdriver and
a magnetic tool.
11232-1R
NOTE : during the refitting of the valve adjuster,
extract any oil which may be in the bottom of the
pushrod bore ( C ) .
