  1. To ensure a good seat for the fuel injector O-rings, clean fuel injector bore using Rotunda Injector Sleeve Brush 014-00934 or equivalent. Clean any debris from fuel injector bore.

 

Installation

  1. Install head gasket over dowel sleeves and onto the cylinder head surface.

  1. Install the cylinder head. Do not damage the gasket.

  1. Remove the Rotunda Cylinder Head Lifting Bracket 014-00932-2 or equivalent.

  1.  CAUTION: Do not use too much engine oil on the threads or damage to the threads and poor sealing may result. Do not use anti-seize compound, grease or any other lubricants except engine oil on the cylinder head bolt threads because they will affect the true torque value reading of the bolts.

    Lightly lubricate the cylinder head retaining bolt threads and flanges with clean engine oil.

  1. Install the cylinder head retaining bolts in sequence to the specified torque. Refer to the following illustration.

  1. Install the four inboard fuel injector shoulder bolts. Tighten shoulder bolts to 12 Nm (120 lb-in).

Carefully push the injectors square into the bore using hand pressure only to seat the injector O-rings. Position open end of Injector Replacer T94T-9000-AH2 between fuel injector body and fuel injector hold-down plate, while positioning opposite end of tool over edge of cylinder head as shown. Align hole in tool with threaded hole in cylinder head and install bolt from tool kit. Tighten bolt to fully seat fuel injector in bore, then remove bolt and tool.
