- Cylinder Head - Remove
1. Remove the cylinder head mounting bolt (A). 2. Remove the cylinder head bolts. To prevent warpage, loosen the bolts in sequence, 1/3 turn at a time, repeat the sequence until all bolts are loosened. 3. Remove the cylinder head.
- Cylinder Head Gasket - Remove

- Valve and Valve Spring - Remove
1. Using an appropriate-sized socket (A) and a plastic mallet (B), lightly tap the spring retainer to loosen the valve cotters. 2. Install the valve spring compressor attachment and the valve spring compressor. Compress the valve spring, and remove the valve cotters. 3. Remove the valve spring compressor and the valve spring compressor attachment, then remove the spring retainer, the valve spring, and the valve.
- Valve Seal - Remove
1. Install the valve guide seal remover (A). 2. Remove the valve seal. - Valve Spring Seat - Remove
- Valve Guide - Remove
1. Use a commercially available air-impact valve guide driver (A) modified to fit the diameter of the valve guides. In most cases, the same procedure can be done using the valve guide driver, 5.35 x 9.7 mm and a conventional hammer. 2. Select the proper replacement valve guides, and chill them in the freezer section of a refrigerator for at least an hour.
3. Use a hot plate or an oven to evenly heat the cylinder head to 302°F (150°C). Monitor the temperature with a cooking thermometer. Do not get the head hotter than 302°F (150°C); excessive heat may loosen the valve seats. 4. Working from the camshaft side, use the valve guide driver and an air hammer to drive the valve guide about 2 mm (0.08 in) towards the combustion chamber. This will knock off some of the carbon and make removal easier. Hold the air hammer directly in line with the valve guide to prevent damaging the driver. Wear safety goggles or a face shield. 5. Turn the cylinder head over, and drive the valve guide out toward the camshaft side of the cylinder head.
6. If a valve guide will not move, drill it out with an 8 mm (5/16 in) drill bit, then try again.
NOTE: Drill guides only in extreme cases; you could damage the cylinder head if the valve guide breaks.
