On the RH side, when lifting the cylinder head, be careful to avoid contacting the A/C tube.

NOTE

New cylinder head bolts must be installed. They are a torque-to-yield design and cannot be reused.

1. Remove the cylinder heads. Remove the cylinder head bolts in the sequence shown. Discard all the bolts. Remove and discard the head gaskets.
   
   NOTE

   Make sure all coolant residue and foreign material are cleaned from the block surface and cylinder bore. Failure to follow these instructions may result in engine damage.
   
   
   
   NOTE

   Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges that make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of the head gasket.
   
   
   
   NOTE

   Observe all warnings and cautions and follow all application directions contained on the packaging of the silicone gasket remover and the metal surface prep.

2. Clean the cylinder head-to-cylinder block mating surface of both the cylinder head and the cylinder block in the following sequence.
   1. Remove any large deposits of silicone or gasket material with a plastic scraper.
   2. Apply silicone gasket remover, following package directions, and allow to set for several minutes.
   3. Remove the silicone gasket remover with a plastic scraper. A second application of silicone gasket remover may be required if residual traces of silicone or gasket material remain.
   4. Apply metal surface prep, following package directions, to remove any traces of oil or coolant and to prepare the surfaces to bond with the new gasket. Do not attempt to make the metal shiny. Some staining of the metal surfaces is normal.
3. Support the cylinder head on a bench with the head gasket side up. Check the cylinder head distortion and the cylinder block distortion.

To install:

1. Clean the cylinder head bolt holes in the cylinder block. Make sure all coolant, oil or other foreign material is removed.
