Cylinder Head Installation

Install the cylinder heads in the reverse order of removal:
- Always use new head gaskets.
- Cylinder heads and engine block surface must be clean.
- Turn the crankshaft so that No. 1 piston is at TDC.
- Do not use the middle cover and lower cover to store removed items.
- Clean the middle cover and lower cover before installation.
1. Install the front and rear exhaust manifolds to each cylinder head, then tighten the self-locking nuts in a crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning with the inner nut (A/T).
- Apply oil to the self-locking nut threads.
- Always use new exhaust manifold gaskets.








2. Install the exhaust manifold covers (A/T).





3. Install the cylinder heads on the engine block.
The cylinder head dowel pins and the head oil control orifice must be aligned.
- Always use a new cylinder head gasket.
- Clean the oil control orifice before installing.
4. Tighten the cylinder head bolts sequentially in two or three steps.
- Apply clean engine oil to the bolt threads and washer contact surfaces.
