For vehicles with 1999 through 2007 models, start by lowering the fuel system pressure and cutting the negative battery cable. Empty out the coolant in the engine, then take off the drivebelt and alternator. Start by removing the valve cover, throttle body, fuel injectors, and fuel rail. Then take away the intake manifold and exhaust manifold. Support your engine's bottom with a jack on the floor and pieces of wood after taking off from the pressed oil pan part. Then remove the
Timing Chain and camshaft sprockets. Follow the steps: disconnect the valve timing control valve, take note, unhook the cooling hoses and wiring from the cylinder head, work to unscrew the cylinder head bolts by hand in 1/4-turn additions in reverse order of how you tightened them. Take the cylinder head off the engine block, using a little extra force when needed, then pull out any leftover components to clean and check. Before putting the pieces together, clean the connection area using a gasket scraper and brake cleaner spray applied to both the base of the engine block and top of the cylinder head. Push flat shop towels inside the cylinders to block debris. Clean up loose materials with a canister vacuum tool. Look for damage on the block and cylinder head connection points, fixing anything found. Push a new tap into the holes in the cylinder head bolts, clean them with compressed air, and remove any dings. Place the taken-out parts back in place, lay the gasket over the block dowels, and put silicone adhesive on both ends of the gasket. Turn on your engine oil, set the cylinder head carefully on top of the block, then slide new bolts through until they're finger-tight, following the correct order. Set the parts back in place, starting with the last part you took out. Leave the engine off for at least four hours before oiling it, including coolant. To finish, look at and fix valve settings when needed, empty used oil from both the engine and filter, add transmission fluid to 4WD vehicles, pump fresh coolant in, and turn on the engine to see if any fluid is leaking out.
