Part: Engine
Operation: Head gasket replacement

When replacing the cylinder head gasket, it is good practice to replace all gaskets, oil seals, rubber rings and special nuts and bolts when assembling the engine itself; start by checking the perfect flatness of the head surface after grinding using a threaded bar and a thickness gauge (the same check must be performed on the cylinder base); replace the valve guide rubbers using the special arc clamp to compact the return spring and be able to remove the valves: carefully clean the seat of the rubbers and lubricate when installing the new rubbers; apply the new intake manifold gasket and install the manifold itself by tightening the fixing nuts with the torque wrench; before inserting the new gasket and then the cylinder head, rework the threads of the fixing holes, check the interference of the pistons with the crankcase, apply the centering bushings and position the new gasket and the cylinder head using a new set of pins for the locking to which copper grease is applied to the bottom of the thread and immediately under the head; then tighten the fixing pins of the cylinder head according to a crossed type scheme and using both the dynamometric and the graduated wrench; then install the tappet cover with the new gasket, applying gasket mastic only in correspondence with the steps; finally fix the turbine to the exhaust manifold and the manifold itself to the head.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
