Cylinder Head - Installation
Prior to installing head refer to Updated Surface Preparation and Torque Specs.Updated Surface Preparation and Torque Specs - TSB 276113INSTALL OR CONNECT
1. Cylinder head gasket to block.
NOTE: Important Do Not use any sealing material.
2. Cylinder head.
3. Apply clean engine oil to the threads and the bottom side of the flange of the head bolt and allow oil to drain.
Cylinder Head Tightening Sequence:
4. Install and tighten cylinder head bolts to torque specification in sequence. Refer to image.
- Bolts 1 through 8 (long bolts) 40 Nm (30 lbs. ft.)
- Bolts 9 and 10 (short bolts) 35 Nm (26 lbs. ft.)
- Then turn all 10 bolts 90 degrees in sequence using special tool J 36660 or equivalent.
5. Coolant temperature sensor connectors (2).
6. Upper radiator hose to coolant outlet.
7. Intake manifold brace and tighten to 26 Nm (19 lbs. ft.).
.
8. Electrical connectors to:
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
- Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor
- Purge solenoid
9. MAP sensor vacuum hose to intake manifold.
10. Throttle body to intake manifold, using a new gasket.
Throttle Cable Bracket:
11. Throttle cable bracket.
12. Throttle body to air cleaner duct
13. Lubricate oil fill "0" ring seal with engine oil and install tube down between intake manifold. Rotate as necessary to gain clearance for oil/air separator nipple on fill tube.
14. Locate the oil fill in its cylinder block opening. Align the fill tube so it is approximately in its installed location. Press straight down to seat fill tube and "0" ring into cylinder block.
15. Fill tube bolt/screw.
16. Camshaft housing and torque 15 Nm (11 lbs. ft.) + 90°.
17. Exhaust manifold. Torque nuts to 42 Nm (31 lbs. ft.). Torque studs to 12 Nm (106 lbs. in.).
18. Fill radiator with coolant until coolant reaches heater hose coolant outlet then install hose (this assists with complete cylinder block fill) then continue filling.
19. Negative battery cable.
20. Start engine.
21. Inspect for oil and coolant leaks. Add oil/coolant as required.
