Engine 113  

Engine 113  

 Before installing the left cylinder head, it is necessary to apply sealant to the cylinder head gasket in the area 

of the timing case cover because of porous areas in the left cylinder head. 

 Repair note  

The sealant must be applied only in the manner shown, with a bead of 2.0 mm ± 0.5mm. 

The sealant must be used within 10 min. 

The silicone bead must not be spread.

Engine 112, 113  

 If porous points are visible on the cylinder heads or on the rump of the engine in the area of the sealing 

surface of the cylinder head gasket, apply sealant at these points. 

 Repair information:  

The sealant must only be applied only with a bead of 2.0 mm ± 0.5 mm. 

The sealing compound must be applied within 10 min.

INFORMATION ON CYLINDER HEAD CONTACT SURFACE - AH01.30-P-1000-05A 

Engine 112, 113  

The cylinder head contact surface must only be machined if mechanically damaged points are present. 

The cylinder head contact surface must not be re-worked (face-ground) if a variation exists in the flatness of the 
cylinder head contact surface in the longitudinal direction and transverse direction (distortion). 

When the cylinder head is fitted on again, the distortion is compensated for by tightening the cylinder head 
bolts. 

Stock removal on the cylinder head and at the crankcase of an engine must together be not more than 0.3 mm. 

The valve seats must be re-set if the cylinder head separating surface is machined. 

INFORMATION FOR ASSIGNING THE CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS - AH01.30-P-1000-06V 

Engines 112, 113  

The assignment of the applicable cylinder head gasket on the left and right to the matching engine can be 
verified when the cylinder heads are installed at the visible round notch between cylinder head and front of 
crankcase. 

 Incorrectly installed cylinder head gaskets, e.g. with marking B instead of A, cause a knocking engine noise, 

particularly at high idling speeds, as the pistons touch the projecting cylinder head gasket. If a complaint exists, 
replace cylinder head gasket.

NOTES ON APPLICATION OF SEALANT TIMING CASE COVER - AH01.40-P-1000-01B 

Engine 112, 113  

Application of sealant to timing case cover  

 The timing case cover is sealed with a silicone sealant at points A, C, D.  

 No sealant must be applied to the timing case cover at points B , pressure oil galleries to crankcase, with the 

exception around the bolt hole G . Sealant which is applied to the points B , is entrained by the oil flow and 
blocks the oil supply drillings of: Main bearings, camshaft bearings, rocker arms and oil spray nozzles.
