General information
When working on the cylinder head gasket it is necessary to drain the coolant either partly
or completely - see job card B 9-0-4.
If the coolant is not drained from the crankcase, a large amount of cooling water will remain
in the cylinder heads. This runs into the cylinder liner when the cylinder heads are removed.
For correct positioning, the cylinder head must be aligned with the flange face on the charge
mixture pipe.

Drain the cooling system - see job card B 9-0-4.
