All cylinder heads

CAUTION: The cylinder head must be cool before removing it from the
engine. Cylinder head warpage can result if a warm or hot cylinder
head is removed.

CAUTION: Place clean shop towels over exposed engine cavities. Carefully

remove the towels so foreign material is not dropped into the

engine.

CAUTION: The cylinder head bolts must be discarded and new bolts must be
installed. They are tighten-to-yield designed and cannot be
reused.

CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or
other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools
cause scratches and gouges that make leak paths. Use a plastic
scraping tool to remove all traces of the head gasket.

CAUTION: Aluminum surfaces are soft and can be scratched easily. Never
place the cylinder head gasket surface, unprotected, on a bench
surface.

NOTE: RH shown, LH similar.

scraping tool to remove all traces of the head gasket.

CAUTION: Observe all warnings or cautions and follow all application

directions contained on the packaging of the silicone gasket
remover and the metal surface prep.

NOTE: If there is no residual gasket material present, metal surface prep can
be used to clean and prepare the surfaces.

2. Clean the cylinder head-to-cylinder block mating surfaces of both the cylinder head and the cylinder
block.
l Remove any large deposits of silicone or gasket material with a plastic scraper.

l Apply silicone gasket remover, following package directions, and allow to set for several
minutes.
l Remove the silicone gasket remover with a plastic scraper. A second application of silicone
gasket remover may be required if residual traces of silicone or gasket material remain.
l Apply metal surface prep, following package directions, to remove any remaining traces of oil
or coolant, and to prepare the surfaces to bond with the new gasket. Do not attempt to make the
metal shiny. Some staining of the metal surfaces is normal.

NOTE: Make sure all cylinder head surfaces are clear of any gasket material,
RTV, oil and coolant. The cylinder head surface must be clean and dry
before running a flatness check.

NOTE: Use a straightedge that is calibrated by the manufacturer to be flat

within 0.005 mm (0.0002 in) per running foot length. For example, if the
straightedge is 61 cm (24 in) long, the machined edge must be flat
within 0.010 mm (0.0004 in) from end to end.

NOTE: LH shown, RH similar.

3. Support the cylinder head on a bench with the head gasket side up. Inspect all areas of the deck face
with a straightedge, paying particular attention to the oil pressure feed area. The cylinder head must
not have depressions deeper than 0.0254 mm (0.001 in) across a 38.1 mm (1.5 in) square area, or
scratches longer than 0.0254 mm (0.001 in).
