t
bracket (6), then camshaft exhaust (7), and intake
side (8).

spark plug recess areas before removal.
Clean
Cylinder head
Carefully remove all varnish, soot and carbon from the
bare metal. Do not use a motorized wire brush on any
gasket sealing surface.
Inspection and Repair
1. Cylinder head gasket and mating surfaces for
leaks, corrosion and blow-by. If the gasket has
failed, determine the cause.
Insufficient torque on head bolts
Improper installation
Loose or warped cylinder head
Missing dowel pins
Warped case surface
2. Cylinder head for cracks, especially between valve
seats and in the exhaust ports.
3. Cylinder head deck for corrosion, sand particles in
head and porosity.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to weld the cylinder head.
Replace it.
Do not reuse cylinder head bolts.
4. Cylinder head deck, common chamber and
exhaust manifold mating surfaces for flatness.
These surfaces may be reconditioned by milling. I
f
the surfaces are “out of flat" by more than
specification, the surface should be ground to
within specifications. Replace the head if i
t
requires machining beyond the repairable limit.
