Make sure that the surface between the cylinder head and the block is not damaged.

Installation

Before installation, clean all parts,

Always use a new cylinder head gasket and exhaust manifold gasket.

Always use new cylinder head bolts.

The cylinder head gasket is metal, be careful not to damage it.

Turn the crankshaft to set the piston of the first cylinder to the TDC position.

Removal and installation of the cylinder head of the G6EA engine

After installing the cylinder block gasket, install the cylinder head.

When installing, specify the dimensions of the left and right cylinder head gaskets.

Removing and installing the cylinder head of the G6EA engine

Tighten the cylinder head bolts with the washer in the following order:

When assembling the washer, the marked surface should be on top.

When installing the bolts, apply engine oil to the threads of the bolts and the surface of the washers. Tightening torque: 24.5 Nm.

Removing and installing the cylinder head of the G6EA engine

Using a special device (09221-4A000), tighten the bolts using the angular tightening method.

Left camshaft chain mark

Install the phase shifter assembly and the timing chain sprocket with the positioning pin in the phase shifter, installed on the intake camshaft.

Make sure that the pin is not installed in the oil feed hole. Tightening torque: 66.7 - 78.5 Nm.

After installing the phase shifter bolts, turn the phase shifter assembly counterclockwise by hand, place the pin in the appropriate position.

Fix the hexagonal area of the camshaft with a vice, then tighten the bolts. Do not lock the phase shifter or sprocket.

Install the camshaft onto the cylinder head assembly.

Right camshaft chain marks
