and monitor the engine coolant temperature (ECT)
sensor 1. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait
until the engine coolant temperature drops below
38 °C (100 °F) before 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.
1. Relieve the fuel pressure (see page 11-322).
2. Drain the engine coolant (see page 10-8).
3. Remove the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345).
4. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-31).
5. Remove the intake manifold: K20Z2 engine (see page 9-3)
K20Z3 engine (see page 9-7)
6. Remove the exhaust manifold (see page 9-11).
