Valve gear, servicing 
     
Notes:  
     
Cylinder heads which have cracks between the 
valve seats or between valve seat inserts and 
the spark plug thread can be used further 
without reducing service life, provided the 
cracks do not exceed a maximum of 0.3 mm in 
width, or when no more than the first 4 turns of 
the spark plug threads are cracked. 
     After installing new lifters the engine must not 
be started for about 30 minutes (otherwise 
valves will strike pistons). Turn crankshaft two 
complete revolutions before starting. 
     Carefully apply a small amount of sealant D 454 
300 A2 at the four end points of the sealing 
surfaces on the cylinder head, using a small 
screwdriver  Fig.  1
