6.FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure (even with the engineoff). Before testing or ser-
vicing any fuel system hose, fitting or line, the fuel system pressure mustbe released. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in personal injury or death.
Install a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
Start the engine and observe the fuel pressure reading.
NOTE: Fuel pressure specification is 407 KPa +/- 34 KPa (59 psi +/- 5 psi).
Choose a conclusion that best matches your fuel pressure reading.

NOTE: Before continuing visually and physically inspect the fuel delivery system for external leaks or dam-
age. Repair / replace as necessary.
Turn the ignition off.
WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure (even with the engineoff). Before testing or ser-
vicing any fuel system hose, fitting or line, the fuel system pressure mustbe released. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in personal injury or death
Install special tool #6539 (5/16
) or #6631 (3/8) fuel line adapter.
Install the fuel pressure gauge.
Start the engine and allow the fuel system to reach maximum pressure.
Turn the ignition off.
NOTE: Fuel specification is 407 KPa +/- 34 KPa (59 psi +/- 5 psi).
Using special tool #C4390, Hose Clamp Pliers, pinch the rubber fuel line between the fuel pressure gauge and the
engine.

INSPECTION—PUSHRODS
Inspect the pushrod ball and socket for signs of scor-
ing. Check for cracks where the ball and the socket
are pressed into the tube.
Roll the pushrod on a flat work surface with the socket
end hanging off the edge. Replace any pushrod that
appears to be bent.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE HEAD
GASKET IS VERY SHARP. WHEN HANDLING THE
NEW HEAD GASKET, USE CARE NOT TO INJURE
YOURSELF.
1. Install a new gasket with the part number side up,
and locate the gasket over the dowel sleeves.
2. Using an engine lifting crane, lower the cylinder
head onto the engine.
3. Lightly lubricate head bolts under bolt head and on
threads, with engine oil and install. Using the
sequence shown , tighten bolts in the following
steps:
a. Torqueboltsto70Nꞏm(52ft.lbs.).
b. Back off 360 degrees in sequence.
c. Torque bolts to 105 Nꞏm (77 ft. lbs.).
d. Re-check all bolts to 105 Nꞏm (77 ft. lbs.).
e. Tighten all bolts an additional
1⁄4turn (90°).
