lLift up the cylinder head assembly to avoid interference with
dowel pins located between the block and head, and remove
cylinder head assembly.
CAUTION:
Remove glow plug in advance to avoid damage as the tip
of the glow plug projects from the bottom of the cylinder
head, or, place wood blocks beneath both ends of the cyl-
inder head to keep the cylinder bottom from any contact.
lFor glow plug removal, the following shall be noted.
CAUTION:
lTo avoid breakage, do not remove glow plug unless necessary.
lPerform continuity test with glow plug installed.
lKeep glow plug from any impact. (Replace if dropped from a height 10 cm (3.94 in) or higher.)
lDo not use air impact wrench.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolt Deformation
lUsing micrometer, measure the outer diameters d1 and d2 of
bolt thread as shown in the figure.
lIf the necking point can be identified, set it as measuring point
d2.
lCalculate the difference between d1 and d2.
lIf out of the limit, replace cylinder head bolt.
Cylinder Head-to-block Difference Check
lAfter installing cylinder head, measure dimension from the front
end surface of cylinder block to that of cylinder head.
lIf the difference is out of the range, check fitting of dowel pins
and cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
Before installation, remove old liquid gasket from mating surface of all liquid gasket applied parts.

1. Install cylinder head gasket.
lCylinder head gasket to be installed is selected by its thick-
ness through the following procedure.
–When replacing gasket alone
• Install a gasket with same thickness as that of the one
removed.
• Identify the thickness of gasket by the number of cut-outs and
holes on the rear RH side.
*: Measured with head bolts tightened
• Gasket thickness can be identified at the location shown in
the figure by the numbers of cut-outs and holes before
removal.
–When the following parts have been repaired/replaced:
lWith cylinder block upper surface and/or crankshaft pin journal ground
lWith cylinder block, pistons, connecting rods, and/or crankshaft replaced
a. Set piston at a point close to TDC.
b. Set a dial gauge at the location as shown in the figure. Turning crankshaft gradually, set the gauge scale
to “0” where the piston protrusion is maximized.
c. Move the dial gauge stand so that the tip of dial gauge can contact the cylinder block. Read the difference.
d. Measure at two locations per cylinder, that is eight locations for four cylinders. Select gasket based on the
maximum protrusion of eight measurements.

f. Tighten 90°to 95°[target: 90°] (angular tightening)
g. Tighten another 90°to 95°[target: 90°] (angular tightening).
lWhen an angle wrench is not used, paint an alignment
mark on the head of cylinder head bolt and cylinder head
surface before tightening. Check the angle with a protrac-
tor.
4. Install glow plug.
lTo avoid damage, glow plugs should be removed only
when required.
lHandle with care to avoid applying shock. When dropped
from approx. 100 mm (3.94 in) or higher, always replace
with a new one.
lBefore installing, remove carbon depositing on mounting hole of glow plug with a reamer.
5. Install engine coolant temperature sensor and thermal transmitter.

lCheck that the paint on contacting surfaces is continuous along
the entire circumference.
lIf there are abnormal indications, grind the valve and check the
contact again. If abnormal indications still persist, replace valve
seat.
