Cylinder Head Bolt Replacement

Model: Renault Megane Megane 1 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Engine

If a repair has been carried out on the engine that required the removal of the cylinder head, it is absolutely essential to use a new set of bolts for its installation. Check the thread pitch of the bolts with a thread gauge and select the appropriate tap to clean the threads of the cylinder head mounting holes in the block, taking care not to let any debris fall into the cylinders. Then place the new gasket and the refurbished cylinder head, apply copper grease to the bottom of the thread and just below the head of the new bolts, insert them into their respective holes, and tighten them according to the cross pattern using both the torque wrench and the calibrated spanner.
