What is the sequence of cylinder head screw removal?
The removal sequence of cylinder head screws is first on both sides and then in the middle, loosening the cylinder head bolts one by one, and finally removing them all.
This process involves several key steps that ensure smooth disassembly and protection of mechanical components:
Place the engine firmly on the turning rack to ensure that the turning rack is placed smoothly on the work table, in order to maintain the mechanical stability during disassembly and avoid movement or tilt during disassembly.
Carefully remove valve chamber cover to avoid damaging other parts. The valve chamber cover is an important part of the engine, and its removal requires careful operation to prevent damage to the surrounding components.
Remove oil reflector cover from cylinder head for subsequent operation. The oil reflector cover is removed in order to better access the cylinder head bolts for subsequent removal work.
Adopt the strategy of two sides before the middle , loosen the cylinder head bolts one by one, and finally remove all of them. This sequence helps ensure uniform stress on the bolt and avoids damage due to excessive stretching or compression in a single direction.
Gently tap at the joint between the cylinder head and the cylinder block with a soft hammer to loosen it gradually and finally remove the cylinder head smoothly. This step is to help separate the cylinder head from the cylinder block and facilitate the completion of the disassembly process.
Through the above steps, you can safely and effectively complete the removal of the cylinder head screw, while protecting the other parts of the engine from damage .
The tightening principle of cylinder head screws includes the following points:
tightening sequence : usually tighten in accordance with the principle of middle first, back two sides and diagonal cross, so as to ensure the uniform force of the cylinder head and prevent deformation.
Stage tightening : During the tightening process, evenly tighten the bolt to the specified torque in three times. Loosen the bolt slightly after each tightening, and then tighten it again to ensure even force.
Use special tools : It is recommended to use torque wrench and Angle wrench to ensure that the torque of each screw is the same, to avoid deformation of the cylinder head and damage to the cylinder cushion due to uneven torque.
material selection : cylinder head bolt material selection is also very important, different materials have different properties, should be selected according to the specific situation suitable material.
Cleaning and inspection : Before fastening, thoroughly clean the sludge, carbon deposits, coolant, oil and other debris and liquid in the bolt hole, clean the thread with a tap if necessary, and blow it clean with compressed air.
oil : Apply a little oil to the threaded part of the cylinder head bolt and the support surface of the flange to reduce the dry friction on the thread side.
Symmetrical fastening : for split cylinder head, install the water distribution pipe and intake pipe to the cylinder head before tightening the cylinder head bolts, and tighten symmetrically according to the specified torque.
tightening during hot turning : for the cast iron cylinder head, tighten it a second time when the engine reaches the normal operating temperature; For the aluminum alloy cylinder head, it can be tightened once in the cold state.
By following these principles and steps, you can ensure that the tightening of the cylinder head screws is both safe and effective, thus ensuring the normal operation of the engine.
