Remove Cylinder Heads and Hydraulic Lifters
NOTE: Cylinder heads are retained using either screws
or nuts and washers on studs. Do not
interchange or mix components, as cylinder
heads may have different machining, unique to
each fastening method.
NOTE: Exhaust lifters are located on output shaft side
of engine while intake lifters are located on fan
side of engine. Cylinder head number is
embossed on outside of each cylinder head.
1. Remove screws or nuts and washers securing each
cylinder head. Unless screws are damaged or
questionable, they can be reused. Discard nuts and
washers once removed; do not reuse. Studs (if
present) should only be removed if damaged or if
cylinder reconditioning is necessary. Once removed,
they must be replaced.
2. Mark position of push rods as either intake or
exhaust and cylinder 1 or 2. Push rods should
always be reinstalled in same positions.
3. Carefully remove push rods, cylinder heads and
head gaskets.
4. Remove lifters from lifter bores. Use a Hydraulic
Lifter Tool. Do not use a magnet to remove lifters.
Mark lifters by location, as either intake or exhaust
and cylinder 1 or 2. Hydraulic lifters should always
be reinstalled in same position.
