Cylinder Head: Installation
- If removed, install the tensioner mounting stud to the cylinder head and tighten to 11 N.m (97 in. lbs.).
- If removed, install the thermostat housing and gasket with bolts (2) tightened to 10 N.m (89 in. lbs.).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.
- Check cylinder head bolts for necking by holding a scale or straight edge against the threads. If all the threads do not contact the scale (2) the bolt must be replaced.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.
- Clean and prepare the gasket sealing surfaces of the cylinder head and block
Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Install two cylinder head locating dowels (2).
- Position the new cylinder head gasket (1) on the locating dowels (2).
- Position the cylinder head onto the cylinder block. Make sure the cylinder head seats fully over the locating dowels.
- Install the ten head bolts finger tight.
- Tighten the cylinder head bolts in the sequence shown in illustration:
- Step 1: All to 20 N.m (15 ft. lbs.).
- Step 2: All to 30 N.m (22 ft. lbs.).
- Step 3: All + 90° Turn
Do not use a torque wrench for this step.
- Step 4: All an additional + 90° Turn
Do not use a torque wrench for this step.
- Connect the heater core inlet hose (1).
- Connect and lock the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor wire harness connector (2).
- Apply engine oil to the oil filter housing coolant return hose O-ring (1).
- Install the oil filter housing coolant return hose to the thermostat housing (1). Tighten the bolt (4) to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).CAUTION:
The vacuum hose and the pressurized coolant bottle return hose have the same quick-connect fitting end. Verify that the hoses are correctly installed. Failure to properly install the hoses can result in engine damage.
- Connect the afterrun coolant pump hose (2).
- Connect the lower radiator hose and tighten the clamp (3).
- Install the side timing belt cover (1) with bolt (2) tightened to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
- Install the intake manifold
Refer to MANIFOLD, INTAKE, INSTALLATION .
- Install the turbocharger assembly
Refer to TURBOCHARGER, INSTALLATION .
- Install the camshaft bearing housing
Refer to HOUSING, CAMSHAFT BEARING, INSTALLATION .
- If removed, install the oil filter and fill the engine crankcase with the proper oil to the correct level
Refer to OIL, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Connect the negative battery cable and tighten nut to 5 N.m (45 in. lbs.).
- Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Check cooling system for correct fluid level
Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
The Cam/Crank Variation Relearn procedure must be performed using the scan tool anytime there has been a repair/replacement made to a powertrain system, for example: flywheel, valvetrain, camshaft and/or crankshaft sensors or components. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
