Cylinder Head: Installation

  1. Clean old gasket material from cylinder head and block. Check cylinder head and block gasket surface for warpage. Gasket surface maximum warpage is .003" (.08 mm) in any 6" (152 mm), and .006" (.152 mm) overall.
  2. Position head gasket over dowels and onto block. Install cylinder head. Install bolts and tighten in three steps. See Fig 1 .
  3. Clean push rods in solvent and blow out each oil passage with compressed air. Check ends of push rod for nicks, grooves or excessive wear. Ensure push rods are straight by checking with dial indicator and "V" block.
  4. If runout exceeds .015" (.38 mm), replace push rod. DO NOT attempt to straighten push rod. Apply Ford Polyethylene Grease (DOAZ-19584-A) to rocker arm contact points and push rod ends. Reverse removal procedure to complete installation.
