NOTE:

All cable ties which are opened or cut through when the cylinder head is removed must be replaced in the same position when the cylinder head is installed.

CAUTION: When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions:

Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, EVAP system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring in their original positions.
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.
