Cylinder Head Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:

When installing a replacement cylinder head, all of the contact surfaces between the supports, roller rocker arms and cam running surfaces on the camshaft must be lubricated before installing the cylinder head cover.

The plastic protectors installed to protect the open valves must only be removed immediately before installing the cylinder head.

Replace the cylinder head bolts.

If the cylinder head is going to be replaced, then it is also necessary to replace all the coolant.
