Engine Cylinder Head Inspection and Replacement Procedure
13. Strip and clean gasket (Figure18)
(1) Prevent entry of foreign matter by using rubber
stoppers or sponges to close off attachment holes,
and also coolant and oil circulation holes on top of
the cylinder block.
(2) Using a scraper, strip any gasket material adhering
to the upper surface of the cylinder block and any
carbon from the piston head area.
(3) Just as for the cylinder block, prevent entry of
foreign matter by using rubber stoppers or sponges
to close off circulation holes in the cylinder head.
(4) Strip gasket material adhering to the cylinder head,
and remove carbon and sludge adhering inside
circulation channels.
(5) Clean each circulation hole in the cylinder head by blowing with compressed air.
(6) Strip gasket material from and clean both the attachment areas for the intake manifold, exhaust
manifold, and the exhaust gas heat exchanger using the same procedure as described for the cylinder
head above.
Caution 1
Make absolutely sure no foreign matter falls into any circulation hole in the cylinder block.
Doing so will cause malfunctions during operation.
Caution 1
Make absolutely sure not to damage the cylinder block surface or the gasket surface on the cylinder head. Damage
will cause malfunctions during operation.

To make gasket stripping easier, apply a solvent like Nihon Kohzai NX66 Gasket stripper spray, and let it soak for
several minutes.
