Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Surface Flatness Check
– Maximum allowable warpage: ≤ 0.05 mm. Resurface if necessary. - Use New Head Gasket & Bolts
– Only install a multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket.
– Cylinder head bolts are torque-to-yield (TTY); never reuse. - Recommended Torque Sequence
- Step 1: Tighten to 29 Nm
- Step 2: Tighten to 78 Nm
- Step 3: Loosen all bolts
- Step 4: Retighten to 49 Nm
- Step 5: Final torque with 90° + 90° turns
- Cooling System Must Be Flushed
– Overheating is the most common cause of head damage. Replace thermostat, inspect radiator, and ensure water pump is functional. - Check for Cracks and Pressure Test
– Particularly in exhaust ports and water jackets. - Timing Belt Replacement Recommended
– Replace belt and tensioner when replacing head to avoid future failure.
Common Issues & Solutions
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cracked Head | Overheating / poor coolant circulation | Resurface or replace head, clean cooling system |
| Warped Deck Surface | Prolonged engine overheating | Machining required |
| Valve Seat Wear | Long-term high-load usage | Recut or replace seats |
