REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(2) Raise the vehicle.
(3) Remove the exhaust pipe to manifold nuts.
(4) Lower the vehicle.
(5) Remove three nuts, heat shield and washers
from the right side exhaust manifold, if necessary
(Fig. 45).
(6) Remove two nuts, heat shield and washers
from the left side exhaust manifold, if necessary (Fig.
46).
(7) Remove bolts, nuts and washers attaching
manifold to cylinder head.
(8) Remove manifold from the cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: If the studs came out with the nuts when
removing the exhaust manifold, install new studs.
(1) Position the exhaust manifolds on the two
studs located on the cylinder head. Install conical
washers and nuts on these studs (Fig. 47).
(2) Install new bolt and washer assemblies in the
remaining holes (Fig. 47). Start at the center arm
and work outward. Tighten the bolts and nuts to 24
N´m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.
(3) Position three washers, heat shield and nuts on
the right side exhaust manifold. Tighten nuts to 24
N´m (18 ft. lbs.).
(4) Position two washers, heat shield and nuts on
the left side exhaust manifold. Tighten nuts to 24
N´m (18 ft. lbs.).
(5) Raise the vehicle.(6) Assemble the exhaust pipe to the exhaust man-
ifold and secure with bolts, nuts and washers.
Tighten these nuts to 27 N´m (20 ft. lbs.) torque.
(7) Lower the vehicle.
(8) Connect the battery negative cable.
CYLINDER HEAD COVER
A steel backed silicon gasket is used with the cyl-
inder head cover (Fig. 48). This gasket can be used
again.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

oration control system from cylinder head cover.
(3) Remove the air inlet hose.
(4) Remove cylinder head cover and gasket. The
gasket may be used again.
INSTALLATION
(1) The cylinder head cover gasket can be used
again. Install the gasket onto the head rail.
(2) Position the cylinder head cover onto the gas-
ket. Tighten the bolts to 11 N´m (95 in. lbs.) torque.
(3) Install closed crankcase ventilation system and
evaporation control system.
(4) Install the air inlet hose.
(5) Connect the negative cable to the battery.
ROCKER ARMS AND PUSH RODS
REMOVAL
(1) Remove cylinder head cover and gasket. Refer
to Cylinder Head Cover in this section for correct
procedure.
(2) Remove the rocker arm bolts and pivots (Fig.
49). Place them on a bench in the same order as
removed.
(3) Remove the push rods and place them on a
bench in the same order as removed.
INSTALLATION
(1) Rotate the crankshaft until the ªV8º mark lines
up with the TDC mark on the timing chain case
cover. This mark is located 147É ATDC from the No.1
firing position.
(2) Install the push rods in the same order as
removed.
(3) Install rocker arm and pivot assemblies in the
same order as removed. Tighten the rocker arm bolts
to 28 N´m (21 ft. lbs.) torque.
CAUTION: DO NOT rotate or crank the engine dur-
ing or immediately after rocker arm installation.
Allow the hydraulic roller tappets adequate time to
bleed down (about 5 minutes).
(4) Install cylinder head cover.
VALVE SPRING AND STEM SEAL
REPLACEMENT-IN VEHICLE
(1) Remove the air cleaner.
(2) Remove cylinder head covers and spark plugs.
(3) Remove coil wire from distributor and secure to
good ground to prevent engine from starting.
(4) Using suitable socket and flex handle at crank-
shaft retaining bolt, turn engine so the No.1 piston is
at TDC on the compression stroke.
(5) Remove rocker arms.
(6) With air hose attached to an adapter installed
in No.1 spark plug hole, apply 620-689 kPa (90-100
psi) air pressure.
(7) Using Valve Spring Compressor Tool
MD-998772A with adaptor 6716A, compress valve
spring and remove retainer valve locks and valve
spring.
(8) Install seals on the exhaust valve stem and
position down against valve guides.
(9) The intake valve stem seals should be pushed
firmly and squarely over the valve guide using the
valve stem as a guide. DO NOT force seal against top
of guide. When installing the valve retainer locks,
compress the spring only enough to install the locks.
(10) Follow the same procedure on the remaining 7
cylinders using the firing sequence 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
Make sure piston in cylinder is at TDC on the valve
spring that is being removed.
(11) Remove adapter from the No.1 spark plug
hole and install spark plugs.
(12) Install rocker arms.
(13) Install covers and coil wire to distributor.
(14) Install air cleaner.
(15) Road test vehicle.
