Withdrawal
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Attention! If the stereo system installed in the car is equipped with a security code, before disconnecting the battery, make sure that you have the correct combination to activate the audio system!
2. Remove from a head of cylinders a cover of the distributor of ignition with the BB wires connected to it. Disconnect the wires from their terminals on the cylinder head and its cover (see chapter Current service). Do not forget to mark the wires to avoid breaking the ignition order during assembly.
3. Mark and disconnect from the throttle body and cylinder head cover all wires and hoses interfering with the procedure.
4. Wipe cover thoroughly to prevent debris from entering cylinder head/valve assembly.
5. Turn out bolts of fastening of a cover of a head of cylinders - operate in an order, the return specified in a picture (see illustration below).
6. Carefully remove the cover along with the seal. If the gasket is stuck to the head mating surface, tap the cover with a soft-faced hammer to break the sealant layer. Under no circumstances attempt to separate the cover by prying it with a lever inserted between the mating surfaces.
Installation
1. Separate an old lining, then carefully clean mating surfaces of a head of cylinders and its covers. After scraping off traces of old sealant and gasket fragments, wipe the surfaces with a rag soaked in acetone.
2. Apply some RTV sealant to the corners where the head mating surface contacts the rocker arm assembly (see accompanying illustration). Wait about five minutes for the sealant to start curing.
Note. Make sure that the top layer of sealant is slightly cured before proceeding with the installation of the cover (under conditions of high humidity, the polymerization of the sealant may begin with a slight delay).
3. Insert the molded gasket into the groove around the perimeter of the cover. Fit the insulating bushings into the cover, lightly lubricating them with a solution of soapy water. Place the cover on the head, then screw in the mounting bolts and tighten them in the order shown (see accompanying illustration) with the required force (see Specifications). 4. Further installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. Before connecting the BB wires, make sure that the rubber seals of the spark plugs are securely seated.
