TSB : Cylinder Head: Installation

Details

Clean cylinder block and cylinder head mating surfaces of any gasket material, carbon and/or dirt. Make sure mating surfaces are free of any nicks or heavy scratches. Clean bolt hole threads in cylinder block to ensure proper bolt torque. Where steel gaskets are used, apply a thin, even coat of sealer to both sides of gasket. On composition steel asbestos gaskets, do not use sealer of any type. Install gaskets over dowel pins with "bead" side up. Install cylinder heads, applying sealing compound to head bolt threads and tighten in sequence. See Figure . Reverse removal procedure to complete installation.
