Preparing for installation
1. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of the head and cylinder block. Clean the water and oil passages in the head. Clean the piston heads from carbon deposits.
2. Inspect the mating surfaces for deep scratches, dents, and other damage. Small scratches can be sanded down with sandpaper, but severe damage should be machined.
3. Check that the surface on which the gasket is installed is not deformed.
4. Clean the threads of the cylinder head bolts. Have new bolts ready.
