Installation

- Tool Required
- J 3660 Torque/Angle Meter
- Or Equivalent

1. Install the ignition coil bracket to the cylinder head.
2. Install the ignition coil to the ignition coil bracket.





3. Install the new cylinder head gasket with OPEN/TOP imprint toward the front of the engine.
4. Install the cylinder head to the engine block ensuring adequate clearance from all wires, components, etc..

CAUTION: Use new cylinder head bolts. The required tightening method stretches the bolts. therefore the cylinder head bolts are not reusable.





5. Install the new cylinder head bolts. Use the Torque/Angle Meter and the proper tightening sequence (1, 2, 3, etc.) to tighten the cylinder head bolts, in stages, to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) + 90° + 90° + 90° + 15°.
6. Install the ignition coil electrical connection.
7. Install the left exhaust manifold to the cylinder head.





8. Replace the two sealing rings on the coolant pipe.
9. Lubricate the two sealing rings with coolant.
10. Install the coolant pipe.
11. Install the upper radiator hose to the coolant pipe.
12. Install the upper radiator hose clamp.





13. Install the oil level indicator tube (4).
14. Install the coolant pipe/engine lift bracket bolt (2) to the cylinder head. Ensure the bolt passes through all attached components. Tighten the coolant pipe/engine lift bracket bolt to the cylinder head to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.).
15. Install the exhaust camshaft.
16. Install the exhaust camshaft sensor electrical connection.
17. Install the rear timing belt cover.
18. Install the water pump. See Cooling System.
19. Install all four of the camshaft gears.
20. Install the timing belt tensioner bracket.
21. Install the timing belt.
22. Install the front timing belt cover.
23. Install the LH valve cover.
24. Install the coolant bridge. See Cooling System.





25. Install the intake manifold spacer (2).
26. Install the intake manifold spacer bolts (1). Tighten the intake manifold spacer bolts in a spiral direction, starting from the inside and working outward, to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.).
27. Install the intake manifold.
28. Install the intake air resonator.
29. Install the intake plenum. See Powertrain Management.
20. Reconnect the negative battery cable and reprogram the applicable accessories.
