CAUTIONS:
If a replacement cylinder head is to be installed to a vehicle with VCT
the cylinder head must have the oil gallery blind rivet removed before
installation.
Make sure that all debris is removed from the cylinder head and cylinder
head oil gallery.
Vehicles fitted with VCT: Remove the blind rivet from the VCT oil gallary.
• NOTE: The centre bore of the blind rivet is 6 mm diameter.
I
dentify the VCT oil supply gallery and the 8 mm blind rivet.
U
sing a suitable 3 mm punch release the centre of the blind rivet until
it is released from the outer part of the blind rivet.
U
sing a suitable extraction tool, remo
ve the remaining part of the blind
rivet.
