16. Remove the engine lift bracket from the rear of the engine.



17. Remove the cylinder head bolts.
18. Remove the cylinder head.
19. Remove and discard the cylinder head gasket.



20. Clean the following areas:

•	Clean any carbon deposits from the combustion chambers.

•	Clean all traces of the old cylinder head gasket from the cylinder head and from the engine block.

Important: Do not use abrasive pads to clean the cylinder head or block surfaces. An abrasive pad will damage the cylinder head and block surfaces. Abrasive pads also produce a fine grit that will contaminate the engine oil. It is only necessary to remove the gasket material. Do not attempt to remove all marks from the cylinder head gasket surfaces.

•	Clean the cylinder head bolt threads.

•	Clean the threads that are in the engine block.

21. Inspect the engine block to cylinder head mating surface for the following conditions:

•

Nicks

•	Heavy scratches

•	Any other damage

•	For further service to the cylinder head refer to the following:

•	Cylinder Head Disassemble

•	Cylinder Head Cleaning and Inspection

•	Valve Guide Reaming, and Valve and Seat Grinding

•	Cylinder Head Assemble

Important: Install the NEW cylinder head gasket with the words THIS SIDE UP showing.

1. Install the cylinder head gasket to the block.
2. Use a socket to push the cylinder head gasket over the rear dowel pin.



3. Carefully guide the cylinder head into place over the dowel pins. This operation may require an assistant.



4. Install the cylinder head bolts by hand.
5. Install the cylinder head bolts.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.




6. Use the following sequence in order to tighten the cylinder head bolts:
