If you notice abnormal consumption of coolant with a rise in temperature even to boiling, it is very likely that there may be damage to the cylinder head gasket: in this case, the gasket is no longer able to guarantee tightness and may the refrigeration labyrinths come into contact with the lubrication labyrinths with consequent water infiltration in the lubrication circuit (by pulling the oil level control stick, droplets of water in suspension may be detected). In order to replace the cylinder head gasket, it is necessary to remove the timing system, the manifold and the tappet cover; extract the camshafts and complete the disassembly of the cylinder head. Carefully clean the seat of the gasket and have it rectified to ensure perfect flatness of the surface and then install the new gasket, taking care to follow the correct tightening pattern of the cylinder head fixing pins. Reassemble everything, start the engine, bring it up to temperature making sure that the fan is activated, that the temperature remains constant and that the liquid does not boil.
