Installation

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





1. Install the new cylinder head gasket with OPEN/TOP imprint toward the rear of the engine.
2. 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.





3. Install the new cylinder head bolts. Use the Torque/Angle Meter and the proper tightening sequence to tighten the cylinder head bolts, in stages, to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) + 90° + 90° + 90° + 15°.
4. Install the right side exhaust manifold to the cylinder head.
5. Install the coolant intake pipe. See Cooling System.
6. Install the exhaust camshaft.
7. Install the rear timing belt cover.
8. Install the water pump. See Cooling System.
9. Install all four of the camshaft gears.
10. Install the timing belt tensioner bracket.
11. Install the timing belt.
12. Install the front timing belt cover.
13. Install the RH valve cover.
14. Install the coolant bridge. See Cooling System.





15. Install the intake manifold spacer (2).
16. 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.).
17. Install the intake manifold.
18. Install the intake air resonator.
19. Install the intake plenum. See Powertrain Management.
20. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
21. Reprogram the applicable accessories.
