With a head of 13, we unscrew the fitting of the oil supply pipe to the tensioner.
Remove the copper washer from the fitting and take out the bolt-fitting with the gasket
With a head of 10, we unscrew the two nuts securing the tensioner to the cylinder head
Remove tensioner and gasket
Remove the camshaft for this:
We bend the lock washer on the camshaft sprocket with a screwdriver or chisel

Remove the cylinder head assembly with thermostat, throttle assembly, receiver, intake manifold and exhaust manifold
Removing the head gasket
We wash the cylinder head, inspect and defect the head.
Install the block head in reverse order.
Tighten the block head in four steps:
- 1st trick - tighten bolts 1–10 with a torque of 20 Nm (2.0 kgf.m);
- 2nd technique - tighten bolts 1–10 with a torque of 69.4–85.7 Nm (7.1–8.7 kgf.m), and bolt 11 with a torque of 31.4–39.1 Nm (3 .2–4.60 kgf.m).
- Then turn bolts 1–10 by 90° (3rd step)
- and another 90° (4th step).
