Assembly
Lubricate the valve guides and valve stems with engine oil. Apply Multi-Purpose Grease D0AZ-19584-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specifications ESB-M1C93-B and ESR-M1C159-A to the tip of the valve stems.
Install each intake valve (6507) in the valve guide from which it was removed or to which it was fitted.
Install new valve stem seals. Use Valve Stem Seal Replacer T87L-6571-BH. Place the valve spring in position over the valve and install the valve spring retainer and sleeve, if so equipped. Compress the valve spring and install the valve spring retainer keys. Remove the compressor tool and rocker arm seat bolt.
Install the valve spring over the intake valve. Make sure the closed coil end is placed against the cylinder head.
Position valve spring retainer on the appropriate valve spring. Make sure a positive rotating retainer is used on all of the exhaust valves (6505).
Compress the spring. Install the valve spring retainer keys. Tap the retainers of each intake valve after assembly to seat the keys.
Measure the assembled height of the valve spring from the surface of the cylinder head spring pad to the underside of the spring retainer with dividers.
CAUTION: Do not install spacers unless necessary. Use of spacers in excess of recommendations will result in overstressing the valve springs and overloading the camshaft lobes which could lead to spring breakage or worn camshaft lobes.
NOTE: Refer to Specifications for proper valve spring assembled height.
Check the dividers against a scale. If the assembled height is greater than the specified limit, install the necessary 0.76mm (0.030-inch) thick spacer(s) between the cylinder head spring pad and the valve spring to bring the assembled height to the recommended dimension.
Install valve cover.
Make sure dowel pin is in place.
Install rear exhaust manifold with bolts in holes 16 and 15. Tighten bolts to 30-43 Nm (22-32 lb-ft).
Install front exhaust manifold and lifting eye with stud in hole 13 and bolt in hole 14. Snug stud and tighten bolt to 30-43 Nm (22-32 lb-ft).
Install intake manifold gasket (9439) over dowel pin and line up port openings in the cylinder head and intake manifold gasket.
Install the lower intake manifold onto dowel pin, then install remaining bolts.

Apply a light coat of engine oil to all parts.
Assemble the piston to the connecting rod with the bearing tang side of the connecting rod and the indentation notch in the piston positioned as shown.
Start the piston pin in the piston and connecting rod. Using an arbor press, press the piston pin through the piston and connecting rod until the pin is centered in the connecting rod. To install piston pin, use Piston Pin Remover/Replacer T81P-6135-A.
Check the end gap of all piston rings with a feeler gauge. End gap must be within Specifications listed at end of this section. Install the piston rings following the instructions on the package.
Check the ring side clearance of the compression rings with a feeler gauge inserted between the ring and its lower land. The gauge should slide freely around the entire ring circumference without binding. Any wear that occurs will form a step at the inner portion of the lower land. If the lower lands have steps, the piston should be replaced.
CAUTION: Make sure the connecting rod bearings and the bearing bore in the connecting rod and cap are clean. Foreign material under the inserts will distort the bearing and cause a failure.
Install the bearing inserts in the connecting rod and cap with the tangs fitting in the slots provided.
