1. INTRODUCTION
This Product Information sheet aims to describe clearly the process for reconditioning worn cylinder heads of gas and
diesel engines (at the cylinder head supplier's works).

2. RECONDITIONING AND TEST INSTRUCTIONS

2.1. Strip cylinder head

In a press, disassemble the half-cones using tool ref. 16.78.450. Remove the top plates, outer and inner valve
springs, and bottom plates. Remove the valves from the cylinder head. In case of HGM560 engines, scrap all the
parts you have disassembled. In case of other engine models, scrap all the components except for the springs and
plates that can be reused after degreasing and washing, provided however that they show no bumps or damage
whatsoever (if damaged, scrap them too).
When using reclaimed outer and inner valve springs, before fitting them into the cylinder head, check their length to
see if they meet the drawing tolerance requirements, i.e. L=67.1+/-2.03 mm and L=56.6+/-1.73 mm respectively, to

with tool ref.process
16.75.570. Remove the valve guides with their
retainer, by introducing the puller ref. 16.75.058 through the firing face of the cylinder head. Scrap the valve guides
and seats. Also scrap the rotocaps from diesel cylinder heads.

2.2. Wash and hydraulic test

Degrease and wash the cylinder head with a hydrocleaning machine (water jet and soap). Dry with compressed air.
In the event of gas cylinder heads fitted with either aluminium M8x1 screw plug or simply Loctite-glued, unclinched
brass screw plugs, on new coolant passages on rocker arm side and on the side bevel near the exhaust face, follow
the procedure described below:
- The three Loctite-glued unclenched and not deflashed brass screw plugs shall be removed, if possible, and
relocated according to the assembly instruction of the re-drilling procedure that follows.
- As for the three aluminium screw plugs, re-drill according to the procedure that follows
Air test the internal circuits of the cylinder head at a pressure of 6 kg/cm2. If the sand draining plugs leak, change
them and repeat the hydraulic test. Scrap all the cylinder heads that fail to pass this test. As regards gas cylinder
heads with leaks through the M8x1 brass screw plugs on the rocker arm side and on the side bevel near the exhaust
face for sealing the new coolant passages, the following re-drilling procedure shall apply in order to recover them:

- Re-drill the leaking hole with a 9mm diameter bit, if on the rocker arm side, using tool ref. 99.75.110 designed for
this rework process for referencing purposes.
- Chamfer the hole mouth and manually tap the hole with an M10x1 hand tap. Degrease and blow the tapped hole.
- Set the 10mm long M10x1-6gbrass screw plug ref. 1910219, with Loctite 270, but do not screw it home; let it
protrude 1.5mm to 2mm.

- Clinch the screw plug. For this purpose, beat the periphery and edges of the thread (never the centre, to avoid
collapse of the thread) with a knockout punch or ball-peen hammer.
- Grind true or stone any excess portion of clinched plug to make it flush with the cylinder head surface. Allow Loctite
glue to dry for at least one (1) hour.

NOTE: Where you have to change M10x1 screw plugs, use the same procedure, but mount M12x1 studs instead.

2.3. Clean and check ring face

Reface all the machined surfaces of the cylinder head with a fine scratch brush to remove any rust and paint
residues. Inspect these areas visually for bumps, marks, etc.
Check flatness of the firing face with a precision ruler and a set of gauges. If surface deformation of the firing face is
greater than 0.076mm and less than 0.150mm, grind the surface. Where deformation is greater than 0.150mm, scrap
the cylinder head.

Bumps that cannot be eliminated totally by brushing within the specified tolerances shall give cause for scrapping the
cylinder head.
Check the cylinder head height:
a) 140 +0.05 / 0, maximum wear limit of 139.85mm for Diesel and FGLD/SFGLD/SFGM/HGM240 engines.
b) 165 ±0,1, maximum wear limit of 164,85mm for HGM560 engines.
Scrap the cylinder head if thickness is smaller than the wear limit.

2.4. Clean the bottom of the valve seat housings

Clean the bottom of all valve seat housings (recesses) in the cylinder head with a reamer moving in the valve guide
housings in the cylinder head.

2.5. Check valve guide and valve seat housings

Check the valve guide diameter (Ø 20 H6+0.013/0) with a go-no go gauge. Also check the diameter and depth of the
valve seat housing (see table) with a go-no go gauge or inside diameter measuring caliper and a depth micrometer
respectively.

HGM560 Gas cylinder head Exhaust Ø 55,5 H7+0,03 / 0 14 +0,1 / 0

Check perpendicularity of the contact surface of the valve seat with the housing of the valve guide, perpendicularity
measuring tool ref. 92.61.016, to be within maximum wear limit of 0.100 x 55mm. Check concentricity of guide and
seat housings, eccentricity tool ref. 92.61.015, to be within maximum wear limit of 0.08mm.
Record the cylinder head number and the readings on document G-10-48. When specifications are not met, scrap
the cylinder head.

2.6. Stamp reconditioning identi er

Stamp one letter "Z" for each rework on the cylinder head, in the rough casting side area near the intake ports.

2.7. Fit and check guides

Fit the four valve guides, use corresponding tools (see table).

pneumatic bore gauge or with a Go / No Go gauge Record the inside diameter values of the valve guides on
document G-10-48.

2.8. Fit and check valve seats

With tool ref. 16.75.043, fit the valve seats, ensuring that seat is in contact with the housing bottom.
IMPORTANT!: Check for correct seating of the bottom of the seat onto the cylinder head by checking in 4 points
at 90° from each other by means of a 0.02mm gauge, which should not go.

intake (1.1 +0.5) and exhaust (1.1 +0.45). On one in every ten (10) cylinder heads, check for minimum contact
between valve and seat to be 80%, using ‘Prussian blue’. Check valve vacuum with an air removal system and
sucking pump.
Record valve recession and valve vacuum leak data on document G-10-48.
Fit the others components of the cylinder heads (see table), press-fit the entire assembly with tool ref. 16.75.099 and
fit the half-cones ref. 16.10.079.

any change of same during field checks. (Theoretical measurement is 51.9 to 52.4mm for gas cylinder head
FGLD/SFGLD/SFGM/HGM240; 51.873 to 52.373mm at exhaust of diesel cylinder head and 42,5 to 43 mm for
HGM560 cylinder heads).
