General instructions
Be sure to replace the cylinder head bolts, self-locking nuts, torque wrench bolts, O-rings and gaskets.
If a replacement cylinder head is being installed, all contact surfaces between the bearing elements, roller levers and sliding surfaces of the camshaft cams must be lubricated before installing the cylinder head cover.
Plastic gaskets for protecting open valves may only be removed before installing the cylinder head.
If the cylinder head is replaced, the coolant must be replaced.
Removal instructions
1. The cylinder head is removed only on a cold engine (not higher than body temperature).
2. Remove the V-belt and tensioner.
3. Remove the timing belt, refer to Section Removal and installation the timing belt.
4. The fuel system is under pressure! Before disconnecting the hoses, cover the connection with a thick rag. Then, carefully unscrew the hose, relieve the pressure.
5. After opening the fuel lines, close the holes to prevent dirt from entering the fuel system.
6. Remove the intake manifold.
7. When removing the exhaust pipe, make sure that the connecting element in the exhaust pipe is not bent more than 10°.
8. Loosen the cylinder head cover mounting bolts crosswise.
9. Loosen the cylinder head mounting bolts in sequence 1 through 10, first by half a turn, and then completely in the same sequence.

Installation instructions
1. If there are cracks between the valve seats or between the seat and the threaded hole for the spark plug, the cylinder head can be used further if the width of the cracks does not exceed 0.3 mm or only the first 4 threads are affected.
2. There must be no oil or coolant in the blind holes for the cylinder head mounting bolts in the cylinder block. Remove the oil or liquid with a rag and screwdriver.
3. Remove the new cylinder head gasket from its packaging only immediately before installation.
4. Handle the sealing gasket with extreme care. Damage to the gasket will result in loss of sealing.
5. Carefully clean the sealing surfaces of the cylinder head and block. Make sure that there are no grooves or scratches of great length on the surfaces (when using sandpaper, its grain size should not exceed 100 units.).
6. Carefully remove any remaining sandpaper.
7. If the crankshaft was turned during the work, set the piston of the first cylinder to the TDC position and turn the crankshaft back a little again, refer to Section Removal and installation the timing belt.
8. Before installing the cylinder head, set the crankshaft and camshaft to the TDC position of the first cylinder, refer to Section Removal and installation the timing belt.
9. For centering, insert the AUDI-3450/2A or HAZET 2571-5 guide mandrel into the front outer hole for the cylinder head mounting bolts.
Caution: Before installing the cylinder head, check whether the guide mandrel can be pulled out upward. If necessary, slightly grind the notch on the guide mandrel.
10. Install the new seal so that the inscription on it (part number) could be read.
11. Install the cylinder head, insert the remaining 8 mounting bolts and tighten them by hand.
12. Unscrew the guide mandrel through the bolt holes, turning it to the left.
13. Insert the remaining 2 cylinder head mounting bolts and also tighten them by hand.
14. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in the sequence 1 through 10 given in Specifications efforts.

15. Further installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
16. Install the timing belt and adjust the valve timing.
17. Install the V-belt and tensioner.
18. Replace the coolant.

The general instructions are the same as for the ALZ 1.6L petrol engine. The illustrations show the AVJ/BFB petrol engine. The design of the 2.0L petrol engine is similar.
Sealing the mating points of the double bearing cover/cylinder head
1. 1.8L Engine: Lubricate the areas indicated by the arrows on the upper sealing surface of the cylinder head with a small amount of sealant, for example, AMV 174 004 01.

Sealing the mating points of the camshaft adjustment mechanism and the cylinder head
1. 1.8L Engine: Apply a small amount of sealant, such as AMV 174 004 01, to the areas indicated by the arrows on the upper sealing surface of the cylinder head.

Disconnecting the cylinder head cover
1. Unscrew the nuts (arrows in the accompanying illustration) cylinder head cover fasteners and remove the cover.

Tightening the cylinder head bolts
1. When tightening the cylinder head bolts, the sequence is the reverse of disconnection, i.e. from 10 to 1.

2. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in the sequence 1 through 10 shown in Specifications efforts.
