Repair Procedures: Installation

NOTE:
  • Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
  • Always use new cylinder head gasket and manifold gaskets.
  • Always use new cylinder head bolts. Cylinder head bolts are torque - to - yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.
  • The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket. Take care not to bend it.
  • Rotate the crankshaft, set the No. 1 piston at TDC.
  1. Install the cylinder head assembly.
    1. Before installing, remove the hardened sealant from the cylinder block and cylinder head surface.
    2. Before installing the cylinder head gasket, apply sealant on the upper surface of the cylinder block and reassemble the gasket within five minutes.
