2. When removing the cylinder head, there is a risk of displacement of wet liners. Therefore, it is necessary to check the position of the liners, and if it is found that it does not meet the requirements, it is necessary to install new gaskets between the liners and the cylinder block. This operation requires removing the engine and gearbox from the car and then disassembling the engine. Therefore, removing the cylinder head from an engine that is on the car can only be done if you have everything necessary to disassemble the engine (even if it is not needed). Otherwise, be prepared to take your car to a Peugeot workshop to have the cylinder head gaskets replaced.
3. Drain the liquid from the cooling system (see chapter 2), apply the handbrake and place the jack under the lower engine mount (near the right corner of the gearbox housing). Remove the bolts securing the exhaust pipe brackets to the bottom of the gearbox housing.
4. Disconnect the wires from the battery and remove it from the car. Remove the air cleaner and air intake (see chapter 3). Disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark plugs, release the distributor cap clamp, disconnect the high-voltage wire from the ignition coil and remove the distributor cap along with the wires.
5. Loosen the bolts securing the right upper engine support bracket to the timing case and engine mount, and remove the bracket. Remove the elastic engine mount. Remove the nut securing the wire to the ground bolt on the gearbox housing and remove the wire. Remove the 3 screws securing the valve cover to the cylinder head and remove the cover. Remove the 3 nuts securing the heat shield to the exhaust manifold and remove the shield.

6. Select a wooden stick approximately 300 mm long and wedge it between the front upper edge of the timing case and the crosspiece at the front of the engine compartment. Disconnect the hoses from the cylinder head and the wiring from the coolant temperature sensor. Loosen the bolt and remove the water pipe bracket behind the coolant temperature sensor on the left side of the engine compartment.
7. Remove the bolt securing the intake manifold bracket and disconnect the manifold from the cylinder head. Move the manifold back, away from the head.
8. Loosen the nuts securing the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head, remove the heat shield support plate and move the manifold forward, away from the head.
9. Remove the ground bolt from the upper front hole in the timing case and the two bolts from the upper rear holes.
10. Bend back the tabs of the locking plate under the three bolts securing the camshaft sprocket. Turn the engine so that piston No. 2 reaches the top point on the compression stroke (in cylinder N 3 the valves are closed).

15. Trim the upper protruding edge of the timing case gasket flush with the surface of the cylinder block. Clean the surfaces of the block, head and casing from traces of old sealant. It is prohibited to use sandpaper or sharp tools, as there should be no scratches or burrs on the surfaces.
16. If you are not going to reinstall the head in the near future, cover the disassembled engine to prevent dirt from getting into it.
