>> A << Cylinder Head Gasket Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Do not allow any foreign materials to get into the coolant passages, oil passages and cylinder.

Remove the gasket from the cylinder head and cylinder block.
Assemble to the cylinder block so the cylinder head gasket identification mark "64" is at the top surface and on the exhaust side.
