Cylinder Head Gasket / Junta Culata Citroën XSARA 1.6 TU5JP4(NFU) .

[@wizlinkx]

Thank you for this very informative video. I have a Peugeot 206CC 2006 that has this same engine (TU5JP4-NFU) 1.6l 16v. My cam belt broke and the pistons damaged the valves. I replaced all valves and Stem seals. I understand that it requires the Head Bolts must be replaced also. Is that correct? Or can I use the old bolts? Do you have your products selling in the United Arab Emirates? Thank you.

And I have a question too. What kind of grease do you use on the cylinder head bolts? And why? Thanks.

[@AjusaAutomotive]

This substance is copper grease, and it is applied on the thread and under the bolt head to reduce the friction coefficient and to improve the tighten. You can find more information in our Facebook facebook.com/AjusaSpain/ and in your Twitter twitter.com/Ajusa_Spain. Best regards

Another excellent video from Your KZbin channel. I have a question regarding cleaning of the cylinder head surface. I bought another cylinder head as my old is cracked and I must clean it / degrease it before installation. It is a TU1M+ cylinder head made from aluminium. Is it ok to clean aluminium cylinder heads with brake cleaner and 800 - 1200 grit sand paper ? Thanks in advance.

+Kaktus Jack It is advisable you to check if this brake cleaner is compatible with the aluminium because sometimes those kind of products can have some reaction with the aluminium. We have never used this cleaner particularly, so please check the specifications. We have the same situation with the grit sand paper because we use the ultrasonic cleaning method for the cylinder heads, but using a fine grit sandpaper could also be a good solution. Thank you for your comments and following on our channel!

Please I have a Question Can I Swap the ZX Tu3(K2D) headgasket (SOHC) with Xrsara (DOHC) HeadGasket?

[@AjusaAutomotive]

Ajusa recommend to fit the right gasket for each engine code and vehicle, therefore we do not recomment you to swap a xsara with zx headgasket. Best regads

Hello, if the cylinder head is skimmed, would it still be ok to use a standard head gasket with standard thickness? Thanks!

[@AjusaAutomotive]

Hi! You refer when its grinded a cylinder head, right? In this specific case, the plane of the cylinder head its not flat. In case of grinding the cylinder head of the video, the internal volume of the camber will decrease in volume and therfefore it must be assambled a higher thicknes gasket to compensate that decrease. Visit www.ajusa.es or follow us facebook.com/AjusaSpain. Best regards

Hi, yes, exactly. If only a very small amount is taken off (such as 2 thou) is it ok for the same thickness gasket to be used? I understand the compression will change a bit, as well as piston to valve clearance - but not enough to cause problems, correct? Of course, if the head is very warped and lots of skimming is needed, then I understand a thicker gasket is definitely needed.

@@NiteShayde1 For such a small amount it wont be necesary to replace the cylinder head gasket by a thicker one. With that small amount removed, its considered that its only making a cleanance of the cylinder head. Hope everything goes Ok. Best Regards

@@AjusaAutomotive Thank you. One other question; do you remove the cylinder head bolts in the reverse of the tightening order? Or some other sequence?

[@AjusaAutomotive]

@@NiteShayde1 That's correct. To remove the cylinder head bolts you must follow the reverse sequence of tightening. All the best
