    Ensure the cylinder head decks are clean and free of gasket material.

  3. Using a straight-edge placed diagonally across the deck surface, measure the cylinder head deck surface for flatness using a feeler gauge. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications .
  4. If the cylinder head deck flatness is more than the specified amount, replace the cylinder head.
