2. Remove the intake manifold, after draining the liquid from the cooling system.
3. Remove both exhaust manifolds.
4. Remove rockers and pushers.
5. Make a copy of the gasket out of cardboard, outlining its contours. Punch holes for the bolts into which you insert the unscrewed bolts in order to screw them into their original places during assembly (see photo). Point to the cardboard copy of the front of the engine.
6. Loosen the head bolts 1/4 turn per reception so that they can be unscrewed by hand. Loosen the bolts in the reverse order of their tightening.
7. Remove heads. If the head does not lend itself to removal, then displace it with hammer blows through a wooden block. Lay the head on the wooden blocks.
8. The procedure for disassembling the cylinder head is discussed in Chapter 2B.
9. Thoroughly clean the split planes of the head and cylinder block.
10. Cover the pusher openings. Carefully (making sure that dirt does not get into the holes) scrape off carbon deposits and gasket material residues, finally flush the head with acetone.
11. Check up presence on demountable planes of a head and the block of cylinders of scuffs, chips, gouges and other damages. Minor damage can be eliminated by cleaning them with a file, in case of serious damage, the head or block must be regrinded. Blow out all channels and openings with compressed air.
12. Go through all threaded holes with a tap (see photo).
13. Put on the block of cylinders a new lining, orienting on pins.
Attention! If a steel gasket is used, apply a thin coat of K8W Copper Coat to both sides of the gasket. Steel spacers are installed with the bulge up. Composite gaskets must be installed without sealant.
14. Carefully install the head on the cylinder block without disturbing the position of the gasket.
15. Lubricate the thrust surfaces of the bolt heads with engine oil.
16. Hand-tighten the cylinder head bolts to their original positions. Torque tighten the bolts according to Technical data, in the specified sequence (see photo).
17. Further assembly is carried out in the reverse order.
