Cylinder Head: Cleaning

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.

To ensure engine gasket sealing, proper surface preparation must be performed, especially with the use of aluminum engine components and multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets.

NOTE:

Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets require a scratch free sealing surface.

  1. Remove all gasket material from cylinder head and block. Do not damage the aluminum head sealing surface.
  2. Clean all engine oil passages.
  3. Clean out the cylinder head bolt holes in the engine block.
