2 Install the cylinder head oil gallery expansion
plugs (1).
Figure 6A1 – 299
CAUTION
• Never reuse a valve stem oil seal. Always
use new seals when assembling the
cylinder head.
• Force should only be applied to the valve
spring contact area of the new valve stem
oil seal during installation.
3 Fit the valve stem oil seals onto the guides using Tool No. EN-46116 (1).
4 Push and twist the valve stem oil seal into position on the valve guide until the seal positively locks on the
guide using Tool No. EN-46116.
5 Lubricate the valve stem and valve guide ID with clean engine oil.

Figure 6A1 – 300
CAUTION
The valve stem oil seal must not come loose
from the valve guide when the valve (1) is
installed.

7 Position the valve spring (2) on the spring seat (1).
8 Place the valve spring retainer onto the valve spring.
CAUTION
Do not compress the valve springs less than
24.0 mm. Contact between the valve spring
retainer and the valve stem oil seal can
cause potential valve stem oil seal damage.

Compressed valve springs (1) have high
tension against the valve spring
compressor (2). Valve springs that are not
correctly compressed by, or are released
from, the valve spring compressor can be
ejected from the valve spring compressor
with intense force. Use care when
compressing or releasing the valve spring
with the valve spring compressor and when
removing or installing the valve stem keys.
Failing to use care may cause personal
injury.
Figure 6A1 – 302
9 Compress the valve spring using valve spring compressor Tool No. J-8062 and adaptor Tool No.
EN-46119.



CAUTION
Ensure correct directional placement of
valve collets (1) in Tool No. EN-46117 (2).
The valve collets must be installed with the
tapered end towards the valve stem seal.
Figure 6A1 – 303
10 W ith the spring compressed, install the valve collets into Tool No. EN 46117.

11 Place the collets into position by pushing the tool (1)
downward and releasing tension on the valve spring
compressor (2).
12 Verify the valve collets are installed by placing a rag over the valve tip and tapping with a dead-blow
hammer. The valve collets and the spring should
remain in place.

Reinstall
Right-hand Side (Bank 1) Cylinder Head
The reinstallation procedure for the right-hand side cylinder head assembly is the reverse of the removal procedure,
noting the following:
1 Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the correct torque specification.
2 Using crankshaft rotation Tool No. EN-46111 (1), align the crankshaft sprocket timing mark (2) with the
indexing mark (3) on the oil pump housing.

3 Ensure the deck face is clean and the cylinder head
locating pins are securely mounted in the cylinder
block deck face.
4 Install a new right-hand cylinder head gasket (1) using the deck face locating pins for retention.

5 Align the cylinder head with the locating pins.
6 Place the cylinder head in position on the deck face.
NOTE
Do not allow oil on the cylinder head bolt
bosses.
CAUTION
Do not reuse the old M11 cylinder head bolts
(1 to 8 inclusive).
7 Install new M11 cylinder head bolts (1) eight places and tighten in the sequence shown and to the correct
torque specification.

4 Major Service Operations
ATTENTION
The V6 engine is a combination of numerous components, containing machined, honed, polished and lapped
surfaces manufactured on the latest, high technology production equipment. Many of the components
contain tolerances measured in thousandths of a millimetre. Consequently, when any engine component is to
be serviced, care and cleanliness are extremely important.
Prior to re-assembly of the V6 engine, all components must be cleaned and inspected in accordance with the
relevant procedures throughout this section, and replaced or repaired where required.
In addition to cleaning and inspecting components, a liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to friction
surfaces during assembly to protect and lubricate the surfaces on initial operation.
When performing any service operation contained in this Section, it should be understood that correct
cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair procedure. This is
considered standard workshop practice, even if not specifically stated. Torque values must be used as
specified during reassembly to ensure correct retention of all components.
Through out this section, fastener torque wrench specifications may be accompanied with the following
identification marks:
■ Fasteners must be replaced after loosening.



Fasteners either have micro encapsulated sealant applied or incorporate a mechanical thread lock and
should only be re-used once. If in doubt, replacement is recommended.

If one of these identification marks is present alongside a fastener torque wrench specification, the
recommendation regarding that fastener must be adhered to.
4.1 Engine Removal
CAUTION
• Allow the engine to cool to at least 50 °
°°
°
C,
before attempting fastener removal.
• As aluminium has a greater rate of thermal
expansion than that of cast iron,
aluminium bolt hole threads will change
dimension to a larger extent than cast iron
bolt threads.
• If a bolt or other threaded component is
removed before the engine is allowed to
cool to at least 50 °
°°
°
C, threads could be
pulled from the cylinder block or cylinder
head.
• Do not use impact tools to remove bolts
during engine disassembly. While this may
be common practice with cast iron engine
components, use of these tools is likely to
pull the aluminium threads in the cylinder
block or head of this engine.
