4.4 Cylinder Head Gasket, Renew
SRO 12.29.01
Drain the cooling system, see Section 4.1 and depressurize
the fuel system,see Section 5.1 (thesesections are in the ap- propriate Vehicle Service Manual). Disconnect the exhaust
system with the vehicle supported on axle stands. Remove
components as required for access to the cylinder head and
proceed as follows.
1 Rotate the engine to TDC No. 1 cylinder.
1 Remove the camshaft cover, see Section 4.2.
1 Push backthe lock tabs and remove the camshaft sprocket
securing bolts (2 Fig. 1). Remove the tab washers (1 Fig. 1).
1 Remove the upper chain tensioner valve clamp bolt (1 Fig. 2), remove the clamp (2 Fig. 2) and remove the
valve (3 Fig. 2).
1 Using a 3 mm Allen key, wind back the tensioner (turn
clockwise) until the snail engages in the park position.
1 Remove the tensioner housing securing bolt (4 Fig. 2) and
withdraw the tensioner assembly.
1 Re-position thetiming chain between the upper dampers.
1 Remove the cylinder head front securing bolts.
1 Remove the remaining cylinder head securing bolts/ nuts.
Remove the upper static damper pedestal assembly and
remove the cylinder head.
0 1 Fit an elastic band to retain the dampers and chain.
. Remove and discard the head gasket.
1 Remove and discard the exhaust manifold sealing rings.
1 Place the cylinder head on suitable blocks on a bench.
Clean the cylinder head thoroughly and check the cylinder
head and cylinder block for warping, bowing or cracks.
Renew if defective.
1 Fit a new cylinder head gasket.
1 Fit the cylinder head assembly to the engine, ensure no
hoses or cables are trapped.

1 Secure with new snap-rings, never re-use old ones.
1 Fit the rings to the pistons ensuring that gaps are posi-
tioned as shown in Fig. 1.
1 Lubricate and compress the rings using Service Tool 18G 55A (Fig. 2).
1 Insert the piston skirt into the bore and using a suitable im- plement such as a wooden hammer shaft, gently tap the
piston into
the cylinder bore.
1 Ensure that the connecting rod does not foul either the cyl-
inder block or camshaft.
Lubricate (using clean engine oil) and fit the bearing shells
to the connecting rod and the connecting rod bearing cap.
Fit the rod to the crankshaft, and fit the connecting rod
bearing cap to the connecting rod.
CAUTION: The connecting rod bearing nuts and bolts
MUST be renewed during assembly and torque
tightened asdescribed in Section2.1, SPS Joint
Control System.
Pistons are marked
'FRONT'. Ensure
that the mark- ing faces the front of the engine.
1 Fit and tighten the connecting rod bearing nuts.
1 Repeat the operation for the remaining pistons.
1 Ensure crankshaft rotation during assembly.
1 Clean and fit the windage trays. Fit and tighten the secur- ing bolts.
1 Removethe oil pumpandoverhau1,seeSection 4.32. Refit

1 Lubricate the lower timing chain. Fit the chain to the inter- mediate sprocket, fit the chain to the lower sprocket and
then assemble the intermediate sprocket and chain to the
cylinder block.
= Should the intermediate sprocket be worn or damaged,
the assembly must be renewed.
= Fit the spacers to the lower pivoting damper and fit the as-
sembly to the cylinder block.
