place the head gasket over the guide pins in the block.

2. Position the cylinder head on the head gasket. Make sure the head is seated onto the guide pins.

NOTICE:

Head and gasket must be seated properly, or engine damage
could result.

3. Using a dial caliper, measure the length of the cylinder head bolts from the end of the bolt to the

bottom of the flange. See Figure 1. Listed in Table 2 are the acceptable lengths. Replace any
