2. If the head was taken to repare, then on it have to be already installed valves and assembly it is necessary to begin, being guided by point 7.
3. Oil a core of the 1st valve fresh for the engine (or molybdenic lubricant) and install in the corresponding directing plug.

4. Dip an oil scraper cap into fresh oil for the engine and dress on a core of the valve and on the directing plug, finalize a cap a mandrel, having slightly knocked on it with the hammer. It must be kept in mind that on a part of engines oil scraper caps of inlet and final valves differ.

	8. Grease necks of a cam-shaft and cams and establish in a head of cylinders so that necks did not touch yokes (which wring out).
M40 engines
9. Grease openings in a head of cylinders and establish hydropushers on former places.
10. Establish disks, levers of pushers and fingers of levers on former places.
11. Grease cam-shaft beds in a head of cylinders.
12. Establish a cam-shaft in a head of cylinders so that valves of the 1st tsidindr opened, the final valve of the 4th tsidindr was closed, and inlet – is open.
13. Grease covers of basic necks of a cam-shaft. establish them on I sweep and screw bolts. Tighten bolts evenly and gradually, till the set moment.
