Cylinder Head

Special Tool(s)

Material

Cylinder Head

NOTE: RH shown, LH similar.

Disassembly

All cylinder heads

NOTE: If the components are to be reinstalled, they must be installed in the same positions. Mark the components for installation into their original locations.

1. 1
   Using the Valve Spring Compressors, remove the keys, retainer and spring.
2. 2
   Remove and discard the valve stem seal.
3. 3
   Remove the valve from the cylinder head.
4. 4
   Repeat the above steps for each valve.
5. 5
   Remove the timing chain guide pin.

RH cylinder head

1. 1
   Remove the timing chain tensioner arm pin.
2. 2
   Remove and discard the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor.

Assembly

All cylinder heads

1. 1
   Install the valve.
2. 2
   NOTE: Lubricate the valve stem seal with clean engine oil prior to installation.

   Using the Valve Stem Oil Seal Installer, install a new valve stem seal.

3. 3
   Using the Valve Spring Compressors, install the valve spring, retainer and key.
4. 4
   Repeat the above steps for each valve.
5. 5
   Install the timing chain guide pin.

   • Tighten to 10 N·m.

RH cylinder head

1. 1
   Install the timing chain tensioner arm pin.

   • Tighten to 10 N·m.
2. 2
   Install a new CHT sensor.

   • Tighten to 10 N·m.

Piston

Material

Disassembly

1. 1
   Remove the piston rings from the piston.

   • Discard the piston rings.
2. 2
   Remove the 2 piston pin retainers and the piston pin.

   • Discard the 2 piston pin retainer clips.
3. 3
   NOTE: If the piston and connecting rod are to be reinstalled, they must be assembled in the same orientation. Mark the piston orientation to the connecting rod for reassembly.

   Separate the piston from the connecting rod.

   • Clean and inspect the piston and connecting rod. For additional information, refer to Section 303-00.

Assembly

1. 1
   NOTE: If the piston and/or connecting rod are being installed new, the piston rod orientation marks and the arrow on the top of the dome of the piston should be facing toward the front of the engine block.

   Align the piston-to-connecting rod orientation marks and position the connecting rod in the piston.

2. 2
   NOTE: Lubricate the piston pin and pin bore with clean engine oil.

   Install the piston pin in the piston and connecting rod assembly.

3. 3
   Install the new piston pin retaining clips in the piston.

   • The piston pin retaining clip gap orientation must be toward the top or dome of piston.
4. 4
   NOTE: Lubricate the piston and the new piston rings with clean engine oil.

   Install the piston rings on the piston.

5. 5
   NOTE: The piston compression upper and lower ring should be installed with the "O" mark on the ring face pointing up toward the top of the piston.

   Align the piston rings on the piston.

   1. Center line of the piston parallel to the wrist pin bore.

   2. Upper compression ring gap location.

   3. Upper oil control segment ring gap location.

   4. Lower oil control segment ring gap location.

   5. Expander ring and lower compression ring gap location.
