Installation

1. Clean cylinder head, intake manifold, valve cover and cylinder block sealing surfaces as described under Disassembly and Assembly. If necessary, check cylinder head and cylinder block flatness.





2. Rotate crankshaft counterclockwise 45 degrees.

NOTE: This step makes sure that all pistons (6108) are below top of cylinder block deck face.

3. Inspect cylinder head face surface for scratches near coolant passage and combustion chambers.
4. Rotate crankshaft to a stable position where valves do not extend below cylinder head face.
5. Position new head gasket (6051) on cylinder blocks.

a. Tighten head bolts in sequence to 37-43 Nm (28-31 ft. lbs.).
b. Rotate head bolts in sequence, 85-95 degrees.
c. Loosen head bolts a minimum of one full turn (360 degrees).
d. Retighten head bolts in sequence to 37-43 Nm (28-31 ft. lbs.).
e. Rotate head bolts in sequence 85-95 degrees.
f. Rotate head bolts in sequence an additional 85-95 degrees.
