Before installing the new cylinder head gasket, it is essential to check that any previous overheating has not warped the cylinder head and block surfaces.

Clean the threads of the head bolt holes with a tap of the appropriate diameter and pitch, taking care not to let any debris fall into the cylinders. Apply the new gasket, position the cylinder head, and use a new set of bolts for fastening, applying copper grease to the bottom of the threads and under the heads of the bolts. Tighten according to a cross pattern using both a torque wrench and a standard wrench.
