NOTE: Ford does not provide a procedure to align the timing components without the OE tools specified.REMOVAL
Refer to Engine Service and Repair for procedures on servicing components not detailed here. Service and Repair
1. Remove the cam covers.
2. Remove the intake manifold.
3. Remove the timing chains.
4. Remove the exhaust manifolds.
5. Disconnect the water heater return tube.
^ Slide the hose clamp back and disconnect the heater return tube.
6. Remove the two nuts and remove the wire harness retainer bracket.
7. Remove the lower stud bolt from the water heater supply tube.
8. Loosen the top stud bolt and rotate the water heater supply tube away from the cylinder head.
9. Slide the water heater tube back and remove.
10. Remove the RH cylinder head bolts and the cylinder head.
^ Discard the cylinder head cover gasket and clean the engine block surface.
CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of the old gasket material.
NOTE: Carefully place a cylinder head on a piece of cardboard to prevent damage to sealing surfaces.
11. Remove the LH cylinder head bolts and the cylinder head.
^ Discard the cylinder head cover gasket and clean the engine block surface.
CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of the old gasket material.
NOTE: Clean the block and the cylinder head sealing surfaces with Metal Surface Cleaner F4AZ-19A536-RA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSE-M5B392-A. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future leakage.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Make sure all coolant residue and debris is cleaned from block surface and cylinder bore. Cylinder head bolts must be replaced with new bolts. They are tighten-to-yield designed and cannot be reused.
1. Install Crankshaft Holding Tool to locate crank.
2. Install the (A) cylinder head gasket over the (B) dowel pins.
^ The RH is shown; the LH is similar.
3. Install the (A) cylinder head on the (B) cylinder head cover gasket and loosely install the (C) cylinder head bolts.
^ The RH is shown; the LH is similar.
4. Tighten the LH cylinder head bolts in the sequence shown.
^ Stage 1: 37-43 Nm (27-32 lb. ft.).
^ Stage 2: Rotate 85-95 degrees.
^ Stage 3: Rotate 85-95 degrees.
NOTE: Make sure to tighten the cylinder head bolts in three stages.
