Removal
1. Remove the upper intake manifold.





2. Disconnect the differential pressure feedback exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) sensor and the RH heated oxygen sensor (H02S) electrical connectors.





3. Disconnect the coil-on-plug electrical connectors.
^ Detach the wiring harness retainers and position the wiring harness aside.





4. Detach the wiring harness retainer from the stud.





5. Detach the pin-type retainer.





6. Remove the nuts from the valve cover studs.
^ Position the radio interference capacitor and wiring harness conduit aside.





7. Remove the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor tube and bracket.
1 Detach the electrical connector pin-type retainer.
2 Remove the bolts from the differential pressure feedback EGR bracket.
3 Disconnect and remove differential pressure feedback EGR and bracket from the vacuum tubes.





8. Remove the bolts and the ignition coils.





9. Remove the studs and the valve cover.
^ Remove and discard the gaskets.

Installation

1. NOTE: Clean the valve cover sealing area before installing a new gasket.

NOTE: Clean the head and the front cover sealing surfaces using metal surface cleaner before applying silicone gasket and sealant.

NOTE: Apply a 5 mm (0.2 inch) dot of gasket and sealant to the front cover-to-cylinder head joints. The valve cover must be installed within four minutes of applying the sealant.





Tighten the valve cover studs in the sequence shown.

2. NOTE: Apply a film of caliper grease and dielectric compound to the ignition coil boot prior to installation.





Install the bolts and the ignition coils.





3. Install the differential pressure feedback EGR valve sensor and bracket.
1 Connect the differential pressure feedback EGR valve tube and bracket to the vacuum tubes.
2 Install the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor and bracket and install the bolts.
3 Attach the H02S electrical connector pin-type retainer.





4. Connect the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor and the RH heated HO2S electrical connectors.





5. Position the radio interference capacitor and wiring harness conduit and install the nuts.





6. Attach the pin-type retainer.





7. Attach the wiring harness retainer to the stud.





8. Attach the wiring harness retainers and connect the coil-on-plug electrical connectors.
9. Install the upper intake manifold.
