CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder head is constructed of cast iron and is
a one piece cross flow design with four valves per cyl-
inder. The arrangement of two intake and two
exhaust valves per cylinder allows for a centrally
located injector. The cylinder head also includes an
integral intake manifold, an integral thermostat
housing, and a longitudal fuel return rifle, which
exits at the rear of the head. The 24 valve design
also includes integrally cast valve guides and hard-
ened intake and exhaust valve seat inserts.

CLEANING
Using a suitable solvent, Clean and dry gasket
mating surfaces on cylinder head and rocker housing.
Wipe gasket dry and inspect for re-use.
INSPECTION
The cylinder head cover gasket and rocker hous-
ing gasket, are reusable.However, should cracks,
nicks, or tears be present in the rubber/silicone construc-
tion, the defective components should be replaced. Also
replace gasket if it is no longer flexible. Inspect o-rings
on cylinder head cover bolts.Do not reuse gasket if it
has been removed from the groove in the rocker
housing or cylinder head cover.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATIONÐCYLINDER HEAD COVER
