    CAUTION:

    The cylinder head bolts are tightened using a torque plus angle procedure. The bolts must be examined BEFORE reuse. If the threads are necked down the bolts must be replaced.

    NOTE:

    Typical cylinder head bolt shown in illustration.

    CAUTION:

    When cleaning cylinder head and cylinder block surfaces, DO NOT use a metal scraper because the surfaces could be cut or ground. Use ONLY a wooden or plastic scraper.

  3. Clean and prepare the gasket sealing surfaces of the cylinder head and block. Refer to Engine - Standard Procedure .
    CAUTION:

    Non-compressible debris such as oil, coolant or RTV sealants that are not removed from bolt holes can cause the aluminum casting to crack when tightening the bolts.

  4. Clean out the cylinder head bolt holes in the engine block.
    WARNING:

    The multi-layered steel head gaskets have very sharp edges that could cause personal injury if not handled carefully.

    CAUTION:

    The cylinder head gaskets are not interchangeable between the left and right cylinder heads and are clearly marked (3) with "R" for right and "L" for left.

  5. Position the new cylinder head gasket (1) on the locating dowels (2).

    • Step 2: All to 45 N.m (33 ft. lbs.)
    • Step 3: All + 75° Turn Do not use a torque wrench for this step. 
    • Step 4: All + 50° Turn Do not use a torque wrench for this step. 
    • Step 5: Loosen all fasteners in reverse of sequence shown in illustration
    • Step 6: All to 30 N.m (22 ft. lbs.)
    • Step 7: All to 45 N.m (33 ft. lbs.)
    • Step 8: All + 70° Turn Do not use a torque wrench for this step. 
    • Step 9: All + 70° Turn Do not use a torque wrench for this step.

    NOTE:

    If the hydraulic lifters are being reused, reassemble them into their original locations.

  9. If removed, install the hydraulic lifters. Refer to LIFTER(S), HYDRAULIC, INSTALLATION .
    NOTE:

    If the rocker arms are being reused, reassemble them into their original locations.

  10. Install the rocker arms and camshafts. Refer to CAMSHAFT, ENGINE, INSTALLATION .
    CAUTION:

    Do not rotate the camshafts more than a few degrees independently of the crankshaft. Valve to piston contact could occur resulting in possible valve damage. If the camshafts need to be rotated more than a few degrees, first move the pistons away from the cylinder heads by rotating the crankshaft counterclockwise to a position 30° before-top-dead-center. Once the camshafts are returned to their top-dead-center position, rotate the crankshaft clockwise to return the crankshaft to top-dead-center.

  11. Verify that the camshafts are set at TDC by positioning the alignment holes (1) vertically.

    Always reinstall timing chains so that they maintain the same direction of rotation. Inverting a previously run chain on a previously run sprocket will result in excessive wear to both the chain and sprocket.

  16. Press the right exhaust cam phaser onto the exhaust camshaft. Install and hand tighten the oil control valve.
  17. Drape the right side cam chain over the right exhaust cam phaser and onto the idler sprocket (1) so that the dimple (2) is aligned with the plated link (3) on the cam chain.

Press the intake cam phaser onto the intake cam, install and hand tighten the oil control valve (2).
    NOTE:

    Minor rotation of a camshaft (a few degrees) may be required to install the camshaft phaser or phaser lock.
