^ Tools Required
- J 28410 Gasket Remover
- J 36660-A Torque/Angle Meter

Removal Procedure





1. Remove the following subassemblies:
^ The right exhaust manifold.
^ The water crossover.
^ The intake manifold.
^ The camshaft cover.
^ The engine front cover.
^ The right secondary camshaft drive chain.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector (2) from the ECT sensor.
3. Remove the nut (3) securing the coil cassette ground wire to the cylinder head.
4. Remove the bolt securing the exhaust crossover pipe to the cylinder head.
5. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.





6. Remove the bolt (1) securing the front transaxle brace (2) to the cylinder head.
7. Loosen the bolts (3) attaching the transaxle brace (2) to the transaxle.





8. Remove the bolt (2) securing the rear transaxle brace (1) to the transaxle.
9. Lower the vehicle.
10. Remove the nuts (3) securing the rear transaxle brace (1) to the cylinder head.
11. Remove the rear transaxle brace.





12. Remove the 3 M6 external drive bolts from the front portion of the cylinder head.

Important: DO NOT reuse the M11 cylinder head bolts.

13. Remove and discard the ten M11 internal drive cylinder head bolts.





14. Remove the right cylinder head. Make sure that no dowel guide pins are stuck in the cylinder head.

Important: You must clean the thread sealant material from the cylinder head bolt holes in the cylinder block. Failure to do so could cause false torque readings during reassembly.

15. After removing the cylinder head, remove any remaining bolt thread sealant material from the threaded cylinder block holes.





Important: DO NOT reuse the cylinder head gasket.

16. Remove the right cylinder head gasket.
17. Remove all remaining gasket material from the cylinder head and cylinder block using the J 28410.
18. Place the cylinder head on a flat, clean surface with the combustion chambers face-up in order to prevent damage to the deck face.
19. Clean and inspect the cylinder head.

Installation Procedure





1. Make sure all the cylinder head locating pins are securely mounted in the cylinder block deck face.

Important: Failure to remove all the old thread sealant material from the cylinder block could cause false torque readings.

2. Make sure any old thread sealant material is removed from the cylinder head bolt holes in the cylinder block.





3. Install a new right cylinder head gasket using the deck face locating pins for retention.





4. Align the cylinder head with the deck face locating pins.
5. Place the cylinder head in position on the deck face.





Important: DO NOT reuse the old M11 cylinder head bolts.

6. Install new M11 cylinder head bolts in the cylinder head.
7. Install the M6 cylinder head bolts at the front of the cylinder head.





Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
