6. Remove holding-down device (special tool 9611) from the camshaft bearing saddles.





7. Prepare cylinder head cover for installation: Clean sealing surface of the cylinder head and cylinder head cover very carefully. Apply a silicone bead to the cylinder head cover.
8. Carefully place the cylinder head cover in the correct position so that the sealing bead is not damaged. Screw two studs or centering pins into the corners of the cylinder head as centering aids. Tightening torque 13 Nm (10.0 ft. lbs.) Observe tightening sequence.
9. Remove holding-down device 9634.
10. Immediately remove silicone material emerging in the area of the camshaft closure cap.
