Replacing the Cylinder Head Gasket

Model: Renault Laguna MK 2, Laguna 2, X74 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Engine

After machining, check for any deformations on the surface of the cylinder head using a straight edge and a feeler gauge; repeat the same check on the cylinder block; clean the threaded holes of the cylinder block with a tap, ensuring no debris falls into the cylinders; then apply the new gasket, seat the cylinder head in place, and tighten the mounting pins in a cross pattern using both the torque wrench and the graduated wrench, after applying grease to the bottom of the threads and under the heads of the pins.
