Right Cylinder Head

RIGHT

Special Tools:











CAUTION:
The magnetic timing wheels (1) must not come in contact with magnets (pickup tools, trays, etc.) or any other strong magnetic field. This will destroy the timing wheels ability to correctly relay camshaft position to the camshaft position sensor.





1. If removed, install the ignition coil capacitor (1) with a M6 bolt (2) tightened to 10 Nm (89 in. lbs.).





CAUTION:
The cylinder head bolts are tightened using a torque plus angle procedure. The bolts must be examined BEFORE reuse. If the threads are necked down the bolts must be replaced.

NOTE:
Typical cylinder head bolt shown.

2. Check cylinder head bolts for necking by holding a scale or straight edge against the threads. If all the threads do not contact the scale (2) the bolt must be replaced.





CAUTION:
When cleaning cylinder head and cylinder block surfaces, DO NOT use a metal scraper because the surfaces could be cut or ground. Use ONLY a wooden or plastic scraper.

3. Clean and prepare the gasket sealing surfaces of the cylinder head and block Procedures.

CAUTION:
Non-compressible debris such as oil, coolant or RTV sealants that are not removed from bolt holes can cause the aluminum casting to crack when tightening the bolts.

4. Clean out the cylinder head bolt holes in the engine block.

WARNING:
The multi-layered steel head gaskets have very sharp edges that could cause personal injury if not handled carefully.

CAUTION:
The installation of the cylinder head gaskets are not interchangeable between the left and right cylinder heads. They are clearly marked (3) with "R" for right and "L" for left. They must be applied on a dry surface, without the use of any adhesives.

5. Position the new cylinder head gasket (1) on the locating dowels (2).





6. Position the cylinder head onto the cylinder block. Make sure the cylinder head seats fully over the locating dowels.

NOTE:
Do not apply any additional oil to the bolt threads.

7. Install the eight head bolts finger tight.

8. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in the sequence shown, following this 9 step torque plus angle method. Tighten according to the following torque values:

- Step 1: All to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.)

- Step 2: All to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.)

- Step 3: All + 75° Turn Do not use a torque wrench for this step.

- Step 4: All + 50° Turn Do not use a torque wrench for this step.

- Step 5: Loosen all fasteners in reverse of sequence shown

- Step 6: All to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.)

- Step 7: All to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.)

- Step 8: All + 70° Turn Do not use a torque wrench for this step.

- Step 9: All + 70° Turn Do not use a torque wrench for this step.





NOTE:
If the hydraulic lifters are being reused, reassemble them into their original locations.

9. If removed, install the hydraulic lifters Hydraulic Lifters - Installation

NOTE:
If the rocker arms are being reused, reassemble them into their original locations.

10. Install the rocker arms and camshafts Engine Timing Cover(s) - Installation





27. Secure the ground strap (1) to the rear of the right cylinder head with the bolt (2) tightened to 12 Nm (106 in. lbs.).

28. Connect the electrical connector (3) to the ignition coil capacitor.





29. Install the accessory drive belt (7) Service and Repair.

30. Install the right and left cylinder head covers .





31. Install the right catalytic converter Catalytic Converter - Installation.

32. Connect the upstream (3) and downstream (1) oxygen sensor connectors to the main wire harness.





33. Install the upper and lower intake manifolds Removal and Replacement





34. Install the air intake resonator assembly Installation.

35. If removed, install the oil filter and fill the engine crankcase with the proper oil to the correct level Service and Repair

36. Fill the cooling system Service and Repair.

37. Connect the negative battery cable and tighten nut to 5 Nm (45 in. lbs.).

38. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Check cooling system for correct fluid level Service and Repair

NOTE:
The Cam/Crank Variation Relearn procedure must be performed using the scan tool anytime there has been a repair/replacement made to a powertrain system, for example: flywheel, valvetrain, camshaft and/or crankshaft sensors or components.
