Cylinder Head
Tools Required:
- Valve Spring Compressor T70P-6049-A
- Valve Stem Seal Replacer T87L-6571-BH
Disassembly
- Remove the exhaust manifolds, if required, and the spark plugs.
- Clean the carbon out of the cylinder head combustion chambers before
removing the valves.
- Compress the valve springs using Valve Spring Compressor T70P-6049-A.
Remove the spring retainer locks and release the spring.
- Remove the sleeve, spring retainer, spring, stem seal and valve. Discard
the valve stem seals. Identify all valve parts as to which cylinder they were
removed from and whether intake or exhaust.
- Clean, inspect and service the cylinder head as required, or prepare to
transfer all usable parts to a new cylinder head.

Assembly
All valves, valve stems and valve guides are to be lubricated with Engine
Assembly Lubricant D9AZ-19579-D (ESR-M99C80-A) or equivalent. The valve tips
are to have Multi-Purpose Grease D0AZ-19584-AA (ESR-M1C159-A and ESB-M1C93-A)
or equivalent, applied before installation.
- Install each valve in the port from which it was removed or to which it was
fitted.
- Install the valve stem seal. Use a 5/8 inch deep well socket and a light
mallet or hammer to seat the seal on the guide. Use the instructions found in
the Valve Stem Seal Replacer T87L-6571-BH. Install the valve spring over the
valve and then install the spring retainer. Compress the spring and install the
sleeve, if so equipped, and retainer locks.

CAUTION: Do not install the spacers unless necessary. Use of spacers in excess
of recommendations will result in overstressing the valve springs and
overloading the camshaft lobes which could lead to spring breakage and/or worn
camshaft lobes.
- Measure the assembled height of the valve spring from the surface of the
cylinder head spring pad to the underside of the spring retainer with dividers.
Check the dividers against a scale. If the assembled height is greater than
specification, install the necessary 0.76mm (0.03 inch) thick spacer(s) between
the cylinder head spring pad and the valve spring to bring the assembled height
to the recommended height.
- Install the exhaust manifolds and gaskets, if removed, and the spark plugs.
