Remove cylinder head bolts in reverse order as shown in the
figure with the cylinder head bolt wrench (commercial service
tool).
Lift up cylinder head assembly to avoid interference with
dowel pins located between the cylinder block and cylinder
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 cylinder
head, or, place wood blocks beneath both ends of cylin-
der head to keep the cylinder bottom from any contact.
For glow plug removal, the following shall be noted.
CAUTION:
To avoid breakage, do not remove glow plug unless necessary.
Perform continuity test with glow plug installed.
Keep glow plug from any impact. [Replace if dropped from a height 10 cm (3.94 in) or higher.]
Do not use air impact wrench.
4. Remove cylinder head gasket.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolt Deformation
Using micrometer, measure the outer diameters “d1” and “d2” of
bolt thread as shown in the figure.
If the necking point can be identified, set it as measuring point
“d1”.
Calculate the difference between “d1” and “d2”.
If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head bolt.
Cylinder Head Distortion
NOTE:
When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checked. Refer to EM-249, "
CYLIN-
DER BLOCK TOP SURFACE DISTORTION" .
1. Wipe off oil and remove water scale (like deposit), gasket, sealer, carbon, etc. with scraper.
CAUTION:
Use utmost care not to allow gasket debris to enter passages for oil or water.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head,
measure distortion in six directions.
If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head.

Cylinder head- to- block Difference Check
After installing cylinder head, measure dimension from the front
end surface of cylinder block to that of cylinder head.
If out of the standard, 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.
Cylinder head gasket to be installed is selected by its thickness 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 on
the rear right side.
*: Measured with head bolts tightened
Gasket thickness can be identified at the location shown in
the figure by the numbers of cut-outs before removal.
–When the following parts have been repaired/replaced:
With cylinder block upper surface and/or crankshaft pin journal ground
With cylinder block, pistons, connecting rods, and/or crankshaft replaced
a. Set piston at a point close to TDC.Standard : 23.53 - 24.07 mm (0.9264 - 0.9476 in)

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.
Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
Before starting engine, bleed air from fuel piping. Refer to FL-18, "Air Bleeding" .
Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.
Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
