1. IMPORTANT:

Be sure cylinder head and block gasket surfaces are clean, dry, and free of any oily residue. ALWAYS
thoroughly inspect new cylinder head gasket for possible manufacturing imperfections. Return any

on locating dowels, remove cylinder head and install a new gasket. DO NOT try to reposition cylinder
head on the same gasket again since the fire ring will possibly be damaged.

Lower cylinder head in correct position on block using lifting straps and a hoist. Make sure that head is positioned
correctly over dowels and that it is all the way down on gasket.

3. IMPORTANT:

Whenever cylinder head is removed for service, all cap screws MUST BE replaced when head is installed.
These cap screws can only be used one time.

NOTE:

All 26 cylinder head cap screws are the same length.
