General Information
The cylinder head group consists of the cylinder head, valves, valve guides, valve springs, valve seat inserts, crossheads, andspark plug adapter. The exhaust valves are manufactured from a material capable of operating at a higher temperature thanthe intake valves. In addition to being made from different materials, the intake and exhaust valves are different sizes.
Mark, label, or tag the cylinder head parts, such as crossheads, valves, and valve springs with the cylinder number andlocation from which they were removed. It is also recommended that the intake and exhaust valve position be marked on the
combustion face of the cylinder head using a paint pen to facilitate installing the correct parts in the correct locations.

Coolant is toxic. Keep away from children and pets. If not reused,
dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
WARNING
Do not remove the pressure cap from a hot engine. Wait until thecoolant temperature is below 50C [120F] before removing thepressure cap. Heated coolant spray or steam can cause personal
injury.
Drain the cooling system. Refer to Procedure 008-018 in Section8.
Remove any interfering insulation blankets.
Remove the rocker covers. Refer to Procedure 003-011 in
Section 3.Remove the rocker assemblies. Refer to Procedure 003-009 inSection 3.

Remove the rocker oil supply line (1).
Remove the six capscrews (1) and spacers (2) connecting the multiduct
to the cylinder head.
NOTE: One capscrew is located at the bottom center of the
multiduct between the passages for the intake and exhaust.
Place the jacking sleeves (1) over the cylinder head studs. Check to see
that they are seated on the cylinder head being removed.
NOTE: Check that the jacking sleeve is not in contact with the
adjacent cylinder head.
Screw the jacking cylinders (2) onto the cylinder head studs. Tighten thecylinders until they make contact with the top of the jacking sleeve. Back

Connect the hydraulic pressure hoses from the pump to the cylinders
and back to the gauge as shown in the diagram.
NOTE: Some pressure cylinder kits have the pressure gauge
attached to the pump instead of a separate gauge.
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and purge the
cylinders of air.
WARNING
Check that the pistons on the hydraulic jacks are fully retracted.
Equipment or personal injury can occur if the piston leaves thecylinder bore while under pressure.
Close the valve on the pump and apply pressure to the jacking cylinders.Pressurize the cylinders to the indicated pressures, depending on the
cylinder manufacturer.

Hydratite Tool: 900 bar [13,053 psi]
Test the cylinder head nuts to check if they can be loosened.
If they can not be loosened, raise the pressures to:
Pivicat Tool: 870 bar [12,618 psi]
Hydratite Tool: 1030 bar [14,939 psi].
NOTE: This is an engineering change. Engines prior to ESN
66300406 were tensioned to the higher pressure. The head studs
must be tensioned to the higher pressure to release the head
nuts, but must be re-tensioned to the lower tensioning pressure.
Use the service tool pin that comes with the pressure cylinders, and
work through the windows in the sleeves to loosen all four head nuts onefull turn (360 degrees).
NOTE: Do not loosen the nuts more than one full turn. Binding
between the nuts and cylinders will occur once the pressure is
relieved.
Slowly open the valve on the pump and release the hydraulic pressure.Disconnect and remove all hoses, cylinders, and sleeves.
Remove the cylinder head nuts.
