Gylinder Head Removal
NOTE:. Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted
surfaces.
To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors
carefully whlle holding the connector portion.
To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100'F (38"C)
betore loosening the cylinder head bolts.
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.

Clean up any spilled engine coolant.
After installation, check that all tubes, hoses, and
connectors are installed correctly.
Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch ON
(ll) (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump
runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel
line. Repeat this operation two or three times, then
check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed
air from the cooling system with the heater valve
open (see page 10-6).
