NOTE:
Install new D-ring seals on the crankcase-to-head tube. It requires several hours after installation for the D-ring seals to relax back to their original size. If the tube assembly is installed before the D-ring seals have relaxed, damage to the D-ring seals can occur.
NOTE:
Check alignment of the oil holes after installing the bearings.
NOTE:
The patch bolt is unique. Do not substitute or engine damage can occur.
NOTE:
Apply threadlock to the threads prior to installation.
NOTE:
Do not nick or scratch the camshaft bearings with the camshaft lobes or engine damage can occur.
NOTE:
Apply clean engine oil to the camshaft prior to installing.
NOTE:
Apply clean engine oil to all the bearings.
NOTE:
Do not turn the crankshaft during the main bearing clearance check.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, make sure that the longer main cap bolts (M14 x 2 x 127) are installed inboard and the shorter bolts (M14 x 2 x 114) are installed outboard.
NOTE:
Apply clean engine oil to the lower main bearings.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, make sure that the longer main cap bolts (M14 x 2 x 127) are installed inboard and the shorter bolts (M14 x 2 x 114) are installed outboard.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, do not remove the rear primary crankshaft flange bolts under any circumstances. If the flange is removed and reinstalled, it will result in engine vibration and premature transmission component wear.
NOTE:
The connecting rods are powdered metal cracked rods. Make sure the connecting rod and cap are installed as a set or engine damage can occur.
NOTE:
Lubricate with clean engine oil.
NOTE:
Make sure the ring openings are 120 degrees from each other or engine damage can occur.
NOTE:
Cam V8 is toward the inside of the engine.
NOTE:
Coat the cylinder walls and piston assembly with clean engine oil before installing.
NOTE:
The connecting rods are powdered metal cracked rods and care should be taken to make sure that the connecting rod caps are oriented correctly with the connecting rods or engine damage can occur.
NOTE:
Only one connecting rod cap shown.
NOTE:
The connecting rods are powdered metal cracked rods and care should be taken to make sure that the connecting rod caps are oriented correctly with the connecting rods or engine damage can occur.
NOTE:
Only one connecting rod cap shown.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, keep the cam followers in the order in which they were removed. Install all cam followers back in their original positions.
NOTE:
Only the front guides use bolts.
NOTE:
Right side shown, left side similar.
NOTE:
Install a new cylinder head gasket with the part number facing upward. Verify the top 5 bolt holes and the head gasket push rod holes line up.
NOTE:
Use care to avoid scratching the blue compound on the cylinder head gaskets.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, keep the push rods in the order in which they were removed. Install all push rods back in their original positions.
NOTE:
Coat the end of each valve stem with clean engine oil.
NOTE:
Left cylinder head shown, right cylinder head similar.
NOTE:
Rotate the crankshaft until the damper locating dowel notch is in the 6 o'clock position.
NOTE:
Apply clean engine oil to the top center of each valve bridge.
NOTE:
Using too much engine oil on the threads of the cylinder head bolts can cause damage to the threads and poor sealing. Using anti-seize compounds, grease or any other lubricants other than engine oil on the cylinder head bolt threads can affect the true torque value of the bolts.
NOTE:
Lightly lubricate the new cylinder head bolt threads and flanges with clean engine oil.
NOTE:
Left cylinder head shown, right cylinder head similar.
NOTE:
If the fuel injector oil inlet D-ring is damaged, a new fuel injector must be installed.
NOTE:
Lubricate the fuel injector and O-ring seals liberally with clean engine oil.
NOTE:
Failure to tighten the injector correctly can lead to engine failure.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, do not use air tools when removing and installing the fuel injectors.
NOTE:
Make sure the injector wiring is clear of all moving parts or engine damage can occur.
NOTE:
Using the bolts to push the high-pressure oil rail into the fuel injectors can damage the fuel injectors and high-pressure oil rail.
NOTE:
LH cylinder head shown, RH cylinder head similar.
NOTE:
Apply clean engine oil to the top fuel injector O-ring seals before installing the high-pressure oil rail.
NOTE:
Start installing the bolts with the second bolt from the rear on the top. The hole diameter is smaller, thus allowing alignment of the remaining bolts.
NOTE:
When installing the exhaust manifolds, use only prevailing torque hex flange bolts with an interference fit.
NOTE:
Apply anti-seize lubricant to the bolt threads prior to installing.

Start installing the bolts with the second bolt from the rear on the top. The hole diameter is smaller, thus allowing alignment of the remaining bolts.
NOTE:
When installing the exhaust manifolds, use only prevailing torque hex flange bolts with an interference fit.
NOTE:
Apply anti-seize lubricant to the bolt threads prior to installing.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, replace damaged or missing dowel pins before installing the engine rear cover.
NOTE:
Prior to installing the engine rear cover, check that the alignment dowels are centered so that 10 mm (0.39 in) of the dowel extends toward the engine and 10 mm (0.39 in) extends toward the transmission.
Original seal
NOTE:
An original seal will have a flat wear sleeve and no pre-applied threadlock.
NOTE:
The crankshaft rear oil seal and wear sleeve are installed as an assembly.
NOTE:
Lubricate the outer diameter of the rubber seal with a solution of dish soap and water (approximately 50/50 mix) prior to assembly. Do not use any other type of lubricant.
NOTE:
Apply a bead of threadlock around the circumference of the outer rear edge of the secondary crankshaft flange.
Redesigned seal
NOTE:
The crankshaft rear oil seal and wear sleeve are 1 piece and need to be installed as an assembly. Do not separate the wear sleeve from the seal or damage to the seal will occur. The metal face of the wear sleeve must be installed so it is on the outside of the engine (facing the transmission).
NOTE:
The rear main seal face and the wear sleeve must be flush with the rear engine cover or damage to the rear main seal or wear sleeve may occur.
NOTE:
A redesigned seal will have a flanged wear sleeve and pre-applied threadlock.
NOTE:
Lubricate the outer diameter of the rubber seal with clean engine oil.
NOTE:
Do not allow the engine to rotate during the installation of the rear main seal and wear sleeve.
All vehicles
NOTE:
Use guide studs to aid in installation. Studs must be fabricated locally.
NOTE:
Install oil pump drive rotors with marks pointing outward.
NOTE:
Install a new O-ring seal.
NOTE:
Apply threadlock to the outer circumference of the leading edge of the crankshaft.
NOTE:
The seal and wear sleeve must not be separated.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, always install 4 new bolts when installing the vibration damper.
NOTE:
Do not use anti-seize compounds, grease or any lubricants. Lubricants have an adverse effect on the torque results.
NOTE:
Install a new O-ring seal on the coolant pump.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, do not use air-powered tools when installing the valve cover.
NOTE:
Clean and apply clean engine oil to the O-ring seals.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, use only an approved pump cover seal. Substitution can cause damage to the pump cover.
NOTE:
To prevent engine damage, the high-pressure oil pump cover must be firmly seated on the O-ring seal to prevent cracking the cover plate.
NOTE:
Apply clean engine oil to the high-pressure oil pump O-ring seal prior to installing the high-pressure pump cover.
NOTE:
In the event of a catastrophic engine failure, always install a new oil cooler cover assembly (with oil cooler). Foreign material cannot be removed from the oil cooler and engine damage may occur.
NOTE:
The old oil cooler cover bolts or new self-tapping bolts must be used to cut the threads on the new oil cooler cover.
NOTE:
Install new sealing washers.
NOTE:
Install a new O-ring seal on the thermostat.
