Compress the valve spring using the special tool Valve spring compressor (MD998772), then remove the retainer lock.
NOTE: Store removed valves, springs and other parts, after putting to each of them a tag that identifies its cylinder No. or installation location.
   
 CAUTION
Do not reuse any removed stem seal.
   
  1. Install the valve spring seat.
  2.  CAUTION
    • Do not reuse any removed valve stem seal.
    • The special tool must always be used when installing the valve stem seal. Improper installation could result in oil leaks past the valve guide.

  2. Limit: 99.4 mm
  1. Apply engine oil to the threads and washer of the bolt.
   
  1. Use the special tool Cylinder head bolt wrench(MB991654) to tighten the bolts to the specified torque in the indicated sequence.
  2. Tightening torque: 78 ± 2 N·m
  1. Loosen all the bolts completely.
  1. Tighten the bolts again to a torque of 20 ± 2 N·m in the indicated sequence.
  1. Make paint marks on each bolt's head and on the cylinder head.

  1. Give another 90° turn in the tightening direction to each bolt, making sure that the paint mark on the bolt head and that on the cylinder head are on the same line.
  2.  CAUTION
    • If the tightening angle is smaller than the specified angle, proper fastening performance could not be assured. Be sure to respect the angle indicated above.
    • If the bolt is tightened to an angle greater than the specified angle, loosen the bolt completely and then retighten it beginning with the first step.
