Q: What precautions should be taken when removing the engine head to prevent warpage and ensure proper installation in four Cylinder Head engine on Chevrolet Malibu?
A:
Head has to be removed on a cooler engine to avoid warpage of the head. Head bolts are also necessary to install; thus, it is necessary to buy new ones in advance. The process commences with the removal of pressure from the fuel system to ensure that no accident occurs and the cable is disconnected from the Negate battery terminal. Suction the cooling system and the oil sump; then unplug the Powertrain Control Module. Remove hose clamps and hoses from the coolant outlet housing, undo the housing bolts and then remove the housing. B, eremove valve cover, turbocharger assembly and Intake Manifold. For the 2.0L and 2.5L engines, take off the Exhaust Manifold, Timing Chain cover and timing chain: support the engine at the lower end of the engine mount. Take out the high pressure fuel pump, and, if you're working on the 2.0 L and 2.5 L engines, you should also remove the Camshaft position actuators, and cams. Identify and disarm the electrical connectors from the cylinder head that could be possibly cumbersome in removal, note down each connector for easy reconnection. Loosen the cylinder head bolts in the specified order turning it in small amounts. Drive a pry bar along the wide flat area all around the head-to-block mating surface but you should not pry in the gasket sealing area. Place an engine hoist lifting bracket and chains at the cylinder head, then use the hoist to lift the cylinder head up off the engine, if it is hard to lift use a wood block and hammer to apply leverage. Place the cylinder head on wooden pillows so as not to scratch the gasket sealing surfaces as you remove the old cylinder head gasket having in mind its positioning as when being fitted. Before installation of the cylinder head and block, the mating surfaces need to be immaculately clean; therefore, using gasket scraper and brake system cleaner. Ensure that the mating surfaces are free from any form of damages like nicks, deep scratches and others. Wash the threads in the cylinder head bolt holes with a tap since this practice may including dirt and corrosion that might alter the torque value read. Align the new gasket with the dowels in the block, locate the cylinder head over the engine block with out shifting the gasket and fit new cylinder head bolts then tighten these bolts to the standard torque level in the correct sequence. Fit the timing chain, turb charger or exhaust manifold and intake manifold. The other steps that are needed to be taken for installation is the exact opposite of the removal process. Connect the battery, drain the engine oil and replace it with a new one, refill the cooling system, then crank the car and look out for the leakage of oil and antifreeze mixture.
