Before starting, ensure the engine is cold; do not perform this operation immediately after use. This task is recommended for those who are experienced; it is not suitable for beginners. Start by removing the upper plastic cover by unscrewing its screws.

Once this step is complete, you will have free access to work on the engine. Next, unscrew the bolts located around the perimeter of the cylinder head.

However, before you can remove it, it is imperative to disconnect everything attached to it, including the air filter, timing belt and its pulley, ignition coils, and spark plug leads. Once all these components are removed, you will be able to correctly remove the cylinder head by simply pulling it off the guide pins, completing the disassembly.

When you are ready to reassemble the cylinder head, it is highly recommended to replace the gasket.
