NOTICE

Do not put the cylinder head down on a flat surface. Direct injection nozzles extend out from the bottom surface of the cylinder head and will be damaged by the weight of the head.


Install Cylinder Head

1. Thoroughly clean the bottom surface of the cylinder head. Install a new head gasket and water seals. Do not use any adhesives.

NOTE: A new spacer plate gasket must be used when the cylinder head is installed. See the topic "Remove & Install Spacer Plate" in this module.

2. Attach Tool (D) and fasten a hoist.

3. Install the cylinder head to the block. The weight of the 3408 cylinder head is approximately 90 kg (198 lb). The weight of the 3412 cylinder head is approximately 172 kg (380 lb).

4. Put clean engine oil on the threads of all the cylinder head bolts. Install bolts (14). Do not tighten at this time.


Large bolts (3/4 inch). Put 6V-4876 Molykote Paste Lubricanton bolt threads and between washer and underside of bolt heads. Small bolts (3/8 inch). See Step 5h.

5. Use the tightening sequence below to tighten the bolts that hold the 3408 Engine cylinder head in position.

a. Tighten bolts 1 through 14 in number sequence to 270 ± 25 N·m (200 ± 18 lb ft).

b. Tighten bolts 1 through 14 in number sequence to 450 ± 20 N·m (332 ± 15 lb ft).

c. Tighten bolts 1 through 14 again in number sequence to 450 ± 20 N·m (332 ± 15 lb ft).

d. Install the rocker arm shafts for the engine valves and the remaining (3/4 in) bolts.

e. Tighten bolts 15 through 18 in number sequence to 270 ± 25 N·m (200 ± 20 lb ft).

f. Tighten bolts 15 through 18 in number sequence to 450 ± 20 N·m (332 ± 15 lb ft).

g. Tighten bolts 15 through 18 again in number sequence to 450 ± 20 N·m (332 ± 15 lb ft).

h. Tighten the nine small bolts at the top of the cylinder head to a torque of 44 ± 7 N·m (32 ± 5 lb ft).


Large bolts (3/4 inch). Put 6V-4876 Molykote Paste Lubricant on bolt threads and between washer and underside of bolt heads. Small bolts (3/8 inch). See Step 5h.

6. Use the tightening sequence below to tighten the bolts that hold the 3412 Engine cylinder head in position.

a. Tighten bolts from 1 to 14 in number sequence to 270 ± 25 N·m (200 ± 18 lb ft).

b. Tighten bolts from 1 to 14 in number sequence to 450 ± 20 N·m (332 ± 15 lb ft).

c. Tighten bolts from 1 to 14 in number sequence again to 450 ± 20 N·m (332 ± 15 lb ft).

d. Install the rocker arms for the engine valves and the remaining (3/4 in) bolts. Put 6V4876 Molykote Paste Lubricant on the threads of all bolts, and between the washer and underside of bolt head and tighten the bolts in the step sequence that follows.

e. Tighten bolts from 15 to 26 in number sequence to 270 ± 25 N·m (200 ± 18 lb ft).

f. Tighten bolts from 15 to 26 in number sequence to 450 ± 20 N·m (332 ± 15 lb ft).

g. Tighten bolts from 15 to 26 in number sequence again to 450 ± 20 N·m (332 ± 15 lb ft).

h. Tighten the thirteen small bolts at the top of the cylinder head to a torque of 44 ± 7 N·m (32 ± 5 lb ft).

7. Install support (12).

8. Connect hose clamp (13) to exhaust manifold.

9. Install bolt (10) and support (11). Install the remaining ten bolts and the supports along the intake side of the cylinder head. Torque all twelve bolts (10) to 43 ± 7 N·m (32 ± 5 lb ft).

10. Install bolt (9) to the timing advance housing.

11. Put the gasket in position. Install three bolts (2) and water lines group (1).

12 If removed, install the O-ring seal to sensor (3). Install bolt (4) and sensor (3).
