18. Remove the self-locking nuts and the small
retaining bolt holding the exhaust pipe to the bottom
of the exhaust manifold. Separate the pipe from the
manifold and remove the gasket.
19. Remove the bolts holding the support brace
to the bottom of the intake manifold.
20. Use the special hex wrench (MB 998051-01)
and loosen the head bolts in the order shown in 2 or
3 passes. When all are finger loose, remove the bolts.
21. Rock the head gently to break it loose; if tap-
ping is necessary, do so with a rubber or wooden
mallet at the corners of the head. DO NOT pry the
head up by wedging tools between the head and the
block.
22. Lift the head free of the engine. It is coming
off with both manifolds and the intake plenum at-
tached; the help of an assistant is recommended for
lifting. Support the head assembly on wooden blocks
on a suitable workbench. Refer to Cleaning and In-
spection in this section for work to be done before in-
stalling the head. If the head has been removed for
work other than gasket replacement, the rocker as-
sembly and camshaft or other components may be
removed.
Before reinstallation, the head should be com-
pletely assembled on the bench. This allows proper
location and tightening of all the external items.
To install: 23. Place a new gasket on the engine so that the
identifying mark faces up (towards the head) and is at
the timing belt end of the block. Install a new gasket
on the exhaust pipe.
Do not apply sealant to the head gasket or
mating surfaces.
24. Install the head straight down onto the block.
Try to eliminate most of the side-to-side adjust-
ments as this may move the gasket out of position.
Install the bolts by hand and just start each bolt 1 or
2 turns on the threads.
25. The head bolt torque specification is 68 ft.
Ibs. (92 Nm) for a cold engine. The bolts must be
tightened in the order shown in 3 steps. On the first
pass, tighten all the bolts to about 22 ft. Ibs. (30 Nm),
then proceed through the order tightening each bolt
to about 45 ft. Ibs. (61 Nm). The final torque is
achieved on the third pass.
26. Install the intake manifold support brace to
the manifold and tighten the bolts to 16 ft. Ibs. (22
Nm). 27. Making sure the gasket is still in place, con-
nect the exhaust pipe to the base of the exhaust man-
ifold. Use new self-locking nuts; tighten the nuts and
the small bracket bolt to 26 ft. Ibs. (35 Nm).
28. Make sure the camshaft has not changed po-
sition during repalrs. Carefully install the camshaft
sprocket and belt onto the camshaft. Tighten the re-
taining bolt to 66 ft. Ibs. (91 Nm).
29. Install the upper timing belt cover, then
tighten the bolts to 8 ft. Ibs. (11 Nm).
30. Apply sealant to the contact surfaces of the
half-circle plug and install the plug in the head In-
stall the valve cover and gasket.
31. Install the engine mount bracket to the en-
gine. Tighten the mounting nuts and bolts to 42 ft.
Ibs. (57 Nm).
32. Adjust the jack (if necessary) so that the en-
gine mount bushing aligns with the bodywork
bracket. Install the through-bolt and tighten the nuts
snug.
33. Slowly release tension on the floor jack so
that the weight of the engine bears fully on the
mount. Tighten the through-bolt to 52 ft. Ibs. (71

to the position and routing of these hoses and insure
that they are not crimped or constricted. Install the
clamps in the same location as before removal.
40. Install a new O-ring on the high pressure fuel
line and lubricate it with a coating of gasoline. Care-
fully connect the high pressure fuel line to the fuel
rail, taking care not to damage the O-ring. Tighten the
bolts only to 4 ft. Ibs. (6 Nm).
41. Connect the accelerator cable and adjust it as
necessary.

1. Relieve fuel system pressure.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Drain the cooling system.
Never open, service or drain the radiator or
cooling system when hot; serious burns can
occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also,
when draining engine coolant, keep in mind
that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene
glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is
left in an uncovered container or in puddles
on the ground. This will prove fatal in suffi-
cient quantities. Always drain coolant into a
sealable container. Coolant should be reused
unless it is contaminated or is several years
old.
4. Disconnect the accelerator cable. There will
be 2 cables if equipped with cruise-control.
5. Remove the air cleaner with the air intake
hose.

20. Hold the pulley tightly so it does not rotate
when the bolt is tlghtened. Tighten the bolt to 15 ft.
Ibs. (20 Nm). If the pulley has moved, the belt will be
too tight
21. Install the timing belt tensioner fully toward
the water pump and temporarily tighten the bolts.
Place the upper end of the spring against the water
pump body. Align the timing marks of the cam,
crankshaft and oil pump sprockets with the corre-
sponding marks on the front case or head.
*If the following steps are not followed ex-
actly, there is a chance that the silent shaft
alignment will be 180 degrees off. This will
cause a noticeable vibration in the engine
and the entire procedure will have to be re-
peated.
22. Before installing the timing belt, ensure that
the left side silent shaft is in the correct position.
*It is possible to align the timing marks on
the camshaft sprocket, crankshaft sprocket
and the oil pump sprocket with the lefl bal-
ance shaft out of alignment.
23. With the timing mark on the oil pump pulley
aligned with the mark on the front case, check the
alignment of the left balance shaft to assure correct
shaft timing. a. Remove the plug located on the left side of
the block in the area of the starter.
b. Insert a tool having a shaft diameter of 0.3
in. (8mm) into the hole.
c. With the timing marks still aligned, the tool
must be able to go in at least 2l/s in. (59mm). If
it can only go m about 1 in. (25mm), turn the oil
pump sprocket one complete revolution.
d. Recheck the position of the balance shaft
with the timing marks reahgned. Leave the tool in
place to hold the silent shaft while continuing.
24. Install the belt to the crankshaft sprocket, oil
pump sprocket and the camshaft sprocket, in that or-
der. While doing so, be sure there is no slack be-
tween the sprockets except where the tensioner will
take it up when released.
25. Recheck the timing marks’ alignment.
26. If all are aligned, loosen the tensioner mount-
ing bolt, and allow the tensioner to apply tension to
the belt.
27. Remove the tool that is holding the silent
shaft in place and turn the crankshaft clockwise a dis-
tance equal to two teeth of the camshaft sprocket.
This will allow the tensioner to automatically tension
the belt the proper amount.
Do not manually apply pressure to the ten-
sioner. This will overtighten the belt and will
cause a howling noise.
28. First tighten the lower mounting bolt and then
tighten the upper spacer bolt.
If any binding is felt when adiustino the tim-
ing delt tension by turning th;! crankshaft,
STOP turning the engine, because the pis-
tons may be hitting the valves.
29. To verify that belt tension is correct, check
that the deflection of the longest span (between the
camshaft and oil pump sprockets) is I/* in. (13mm).
30. Install the lower timing belt cover. Be sure the
packing is properly positioned in the inner grooves of
the covers when installing.
31. Install the water pump pulley and the crank-
shaft pulley(s).
32. Install the upper front timing belt cover.
33. Install the power steering pump, alternator,
air conditioning compressor, tension pulley and ac-
companying brackets, as required.

the set hole in the rod is aligned with the hole in
the cylinder. c. Insert a stiff wire into the set holes to retain
the position.
d. Remove the assembly from the vice.
18. Leave the retaining wire in the tension and in-
stall to the engine.
19. If the timing marks of the camshaft sprockets
and crankshaft sprocket are not aligned at this point,
proceed as follows:
*Keep fingers out from between the
camshaft sprockets. The sprockets may move
unexpectedly because of valve spring pres-
sure and could pinch fingers.
a. Align the mark on the crankshaft sprocket
with the mark on the front case. Then move the
sprocket 2 teeth clockwise to lower the piston so
the valve can’t touch the piston when the
camshafts are being moved.
b. Turn each camshaft sprocket 1 at a time to
align the timing marks with the mark on the valve
cover or head. If the intake and exhaust valves of
the same cylinder are opened simultaneously,
they could interfere with each other. Therefore, if
any resistance is felt, turn the other camshaft to
move the valve.
c. Align the timing mark of the crankshaft
sprocket, then continue 1 tooth farther in the
counterclockwise direction to facilitate belt instal-
lation.

21. Turn the tensioner pulley so its pin holes are
located above the center bolt. Then press the ten-
sioner pulley against the timing belt and simultane-
ously tighten the center bolt.
22. Make certain that all timing marks are still
aligned. If so, remove the 4 clips.
23. Turn the crankshaft l/d turn counterclockwise,
then turn it clockwise until all timing marks are
aligned.
24. Loosen the center bolt on the tensioner pul-
ley. Using tool MD998767 or equivalent and a torque
wrench, apply a torque of 7 ft. Ibs. (10 Nm). Tighten
the tensioner bolt; make sure the tensioner doesn’t
rotate with the bolt.
25. Remove the set wire attached to the auto ten-
sioner, if the wire was not previously removed.
26. Rotate the crankshaft 2 complete turns clock-
wise and let it sit for approximately 5 minutes. Then,
make sure the set pin can easily be inserted and re-
moved from the hole in the tensioner.
27. Measure the auto tensioner protrusion (the
distance between the tensioner arm and auto ten-
sioner body) to ensure that it is within 0.15-0.18 in.
(3.8-4 5mm). If out of specification, repeat Steps
l-4 until the specified value is obtained.

Cruise control is a speed control system that
maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal dri-
ving conditions. However, steep grades up or down
may cause variations in the selected speeds. The !
electronic cruise control system has the capability to
cruise, coast, resume speed, accelerate, “tap-up” and
“tap-down”.
The main parts of the cruise control system are the
functional control switches, speed control assembly, actuator, intermediate link, auto-cruise control mod-
ule assembly, speed sensor, and the release
switches.
Depending upon the year and/or model of your
vehicle, the cruise control system is either vacuum or
electronically controlled. The cruise control module
assembly contains a low speed limit which will pre-
vent system engagement below 25 mph (40 km/h).
The module is controlled by the functional switches located on a lever on the steering column or steering
wheel and on the instrument panel.
The release switches are mounted on the
brake/clutch/accelerator pedal bracket. When the
brake or clutch pedal is depressed, the cruise control
system is electrically disengaged and the throttle is
returned to the idle position.
