It is very important that the ring ends are square when installed into the cylinder bore.
Ring end gaps that are not square will lead to incorrect ring end gaps that can lead to
undesirable engine operation / function as well as irreparable engine damage.
2. Engine Reassembly and Installation
Reassemble cylinders and reinstall them as per your service manual instructions, making
sure that all parts are thoroughly cleaned prior to reassembly.
3. Install Cylinder Heads
A. Place the head gasket over the dowels.
B. Note that the letter F or R is cast into the top of the cylinder head to ensure proper
installation. Carefully set the cylinder head over the two dowels in the cylinder
head mating surface. Be careful not to drag the gasket surface across the dowels.
CAUTIO !
Thoroughly clean and lubricate the threads of the cylinder head bolts prior to
installation. Dirt, grime, and dry interfaces can cause friction, resulting in false
torque values.
C. Lightly coat the threads and bottom flange of the head bolts with clean light
engine oil.
D. Start the head bolts onto the cylinder studs, the 2 short bolts on the left side of the
engine and the longer bolts on the right side.
E. Tighten the head bolts as per the appropriate service manual.
