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

Tighten the cylinder head using an angular tighte-
ning wrench (see section 07 "Tightening the cy-
linder head").
Tighten using tool Mot. 591-04.
Line up the reference marks on the timing belt
with the markings on the sprockets.
10072S
Remove the TDC pin .
Refit the timing belt (see method described in
chapter 11 "Timing belt "). D7F Engine
IMPORTANT: The camshaft sprocket bears five
markings, of which only the rectangular one on
the surface of one of the teeth represents TDC;
the other markings are intended as an aid for ad-
justing the valve rockers.

ADJUSTMENT OF VALVE ROCKERS (IF
NECESSARY)
Partly refit the suspended engine mounting ti-
ming cover on the engine using two bolts.
Bring the engine to TDC , cylinder n. 1 in ignition
phase .
Turn the crankshaft clockwise (viewed from the
timing side ) to reach the first reference mark.

Remove the tool retaining the engine on the sub-
frame, Mot. 1379.
NOTE : tightening the inlet manifold :
- progressively hand tighten the six nuts until
the inlet manifold comes into contact with the
cylinder head, then tighten them to a torque
of 1.5 daN.m,
- fit the upper bolts and tighten them to a tor-
que of 0.9 daN.m.
Fill and bleed the cooling circuit.
Adjust the accelerator cable.
