ENGINE DATA PLATE
DESCRIPTION
The engine data plate contains specific information
that is helpful to servicing and obtaining parts for the
engine. The data plate is on the cylinder head cover.
Information that can be found on the data plate
includes:
Engine Part Number
Date of Engine Manufacture
Engine Serial Number
Control Parts List (CPL)
Engine Rated Horsepower
Engine Firing Order
Engine Displacement
Valve Lash Reset Specifications
If the engine data plate is missing or not legible, the engine serial numberis used for engine identification. The
engine serial number is stamped on the right side of the block, on top of the oil cooler cavity.

CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder head is constructed of cast iron and is a one piece cross flow design with four valves per cylinder. The
arrangement of two intake and two exhaust valves per cylinder allows for a centrally located injector. The cylinder
head also includes an integral intake manifold, an integral thermostat housing, and a longitudal fuel return rifle,
which exits at the rear of the head. The 24 valve design also includes integrally cast valve guides and hardened
intake and exhaust valve seat inserts.

CLEANING
CLEANING CYLINDER HEAD COVER
Using a suitable solvent, Clean and dry gasket mating surfaces on cylinderhead and rocker housing. Wipe gasket
dry and inspect for re-use.
INSPECTION - CYLINDER HEAD COVER
The cylinder head cover gasket and rocker housing gasket, are reusable.However, should cracks, nicks, or
tears be present in the rubber/silicone construction, the defective components should be replaced. Also replace gas-
ket if it is no longer flexible. Inspect cylinder head cover rubber isolated capscrews for cracks, nicks, or tears.Do not
reuse gasket if it has been removed from the groove in the rocker housing or cylinder head cover.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION - ROCKER HOUSING
1. Inspect rocker housing gasket for cuts, nicks, or tears. Replace if damagedorifgaskethascomeoutofgroove.
2. Inspect rocker housing gasket for proper installation in groove. Gasket bead must be centered in groove. A gas-
ket bead that is tilted to the side will cause an oil leak.

CAUTION: When installing rocker housing onto cylinder head, do not slide housing from side to side, The
gasket could fall out or be damaged.
3. Install the rocker housing. Carefully guide the rocker housing evenly down onto the cylinder head.
4. Install rocker housing bolts and tighten finger tight.
5. Torque bolts, working from center out, to 24 Nꞏm (18 ft. lbs.).
INSTALLATION - CYL HEAD COVER
NOTE: Gasket must be completely dry and free of oil before installation.
1. Position cylinder head cover (1) on top of cylinder head cover gasket (2).
2. Install bolts finger tight.

3. Starting with the center bolt, torque bolts (1) to 24
Nꞏm ( 18 ft. lbs. ).
4. Install breather tube (3) to cylinder head cover (2).
5. Install breather drain tube (4) to cylinder head
cover (2).
INSTALLATION - CYL HEAD COVER GASKET
1. Clean oil from cylinder head cover gasket
2. Inspect cylinder head cover gasket for cuts or damage. Replace if damaged.
3. Place cylinder head cover gasket on top of rocker housing (2).
4. Install injector solenoid nuts (1) at injectors. Torque to 1.25 Nꞏm ( 11 in. lbs. ).

ROCKER ARM
DESCRIPTION
The unique intake and exhaust rocker arms have their own rocker shafts and are lubricated by passages intersect-
ing the cylinder block main oil rifle. Crossheads are used, which allow each rocker arm to operate two valves.
The solid push rods are hardened at the rocker arm and tappet contact areas for superior strength and durability.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery negative cables.
2. Remove cylinder head cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) -
REMOVAL).
3. Remove the rocker arm/pedestal fasteners and
remove rocker arm (1) and pedestal (2) from cylin-
der head. Mark the arms and pedestals so they
can be installed in their original position.
CAUTION: When removing the rocker arms, the
sockets may come loose and fall into the engine.
Make sure they stay with the arm upon
removal/installation.
