PART 2:REASSEMBLY

I cleaned out the bolt holes using the headbolts to bottom out any debris then pump air again many times and clean again and so on. cleaning the holes using a tap may widen the hole and the bolts can lose clamping force.


These are the water jackets in between cylinders. Now you have two holes. After Placing the gasket, now you have only one hole...all previous gaskets are also the same wrt the holes.



I decided to disconnect timing belt and check the oil ring. In just one revolution, some oil are left clingin on the liner walls. signs of oil ring wear.


Now install the head gasket and check the orientation of the holes... a quick guide is the long hole which should be located at the rear left when facing the engine....
