(Refer to Cylinder Head Assembly – “Cylinder Head”)
Remove the cylinder head gasket (A).
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
Always use a new cylinder head gasket.
The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket. Take care not to bend it.
Select the cylinder head gasket.
Measure the piston protrusion from the upper cylinder block face (I) on 8 places (A ~ H) at T.D.C.
Measure on the crankshaft center line considering the piston migration.
Select the gasket in the table below using the average value of piston protrusions. Although even the only 1 point is over than the each rank limit, use 1 rank upper gasket than specified in the table below.
Displacement | 1.4 & 1.6 L | ||
Average of piston protrusion | 0.035 ~ 0.105mm (0.0014 ~ 0.0041in) | 0.105 ~ 0.175mm (0.0041 ~ 0.0069in) | 0.175 ~ 0.245mm (0.0069 ~ 0.0096in) |
Gasket thickness | 1.00 ~ 1.15mm (0.0394 ~ 0.0453in) | 1.05 ~ 1.20mm (0.0413 ~ 0.0472in) | 1.10 ~ 1.25mm (0.0433 ~ 0.0492in) |
Limit of each rank extent | 0.14mm (0.0055in) | 0.21mm (0.0083in) | - |
Identification code |  |  |  |
Gasket grade | A | B | C |
Install the gasket so that the identification mark faces toward the timing chain side.
Install the cylinder head gasket (A) on the cylinder block.
Be careful of the installation direction.
