REMOVAL


Before servicing the fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel filter, throttle body or fuel injectors, the fuel system pressure must be released, refer to Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Service and Repair.
1. Remove intake and exhaust manifold, refer to INTAKE & EXHAUST MANIFOLD.
2. Remove timing belt, refer to TIMING BELT, SPROCKETS & OIL SEALS.

INSTALLATION







The Turbo III head gasket is not the same gasket as used on the 2.5L/4-153 turbo engine.

Fig. 9 Checking Cylinder Head Bolts:

Head bolt diameter is 11 mm. These bolts are unique to this engine application and are not interchangeable with other engines. Cylinder head bolts should be examined before use. If the threads are necked down the bolts should be replaced, Fig. 9.

a. Torque all bolts 45 lb-ft.
b. Torque all bolts to 65 lb-ft.
c. Torque all bolts again to 65 lb-ft.
d. Tighten each bolt an additional 1/4 turn (90°), noting bolt torque. If bolt torque is not over 90 lb-ft after tightening an additional 1/4 turn, bolt should be replaced.
3. Reverse remaining removal installation procedure to complete installation, torquing all bolts to specifications.
