Cylinder Head & Manifolds: Installation
- Clean mating surfaces and use a new cylinder head gasket. Do not apply sealant to gasket. Install cylinder head. To prevent damage to gasket, mating surfaces and alignment dowels, avoid sliding cylinder head.
- Tighten cylinder head bolts to initial torque of 35 ft. lbs. (48 N.m). Follow sequence in Fig 1. Repeat procedure, tightening bolts to final torque.
- Temporarily set valve clearance to cold engine settings. Readjust to hot engine settings after engine is at normal operating temperature. Install rocker cover, air cleaner and breather hoses.
