Replacement of the Cylinder Head Gasket

Model: (Various brands) Various - Years 1999-2005
Part: Engine

After machining the cylinder head, check the flatness of the surface using a ground bar and a feeler gauge for valves; the same operation should be performed on the cylinder block after carefully grinding the surface. Install the intake manifold by inserting the new gasket; re-tap the threads of the cylinder head fixing holes using the tap extension, taking care to remove any debris; apply the new gasket, then the cylinder head, and use a new stud kit to secure it (apply sealant on the bottom of the thread and under the head of the studs): the studs must be tightened with a torque wrench and an angle wrench following a cross pattern. Finally, install the exhaust manifold and the rocker cover with the respective new gaskets.

This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
