How do I remove the head? (Blown Head gasket)

Cylinder Head REMOVAL & INSTALLATION 2.3L Engine

1. Properly relieve the fuel system pressure.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable, then drain cooling system into a suitable container.
3. Detach the heater inlet and throttle body heater hoses from water outlet. If accessible at this time, disconnect the upper radiator hose from the water outlet.
4. Remove the exhaust manifold. For details, please refer to the procedure located in this section.
5. Remove the intake (camshaft housing for SOHC) and exhaust (DOHC only) camshaft housings.
6. Unfasten the oil fill tube bolt/screw then remove the oil fill cap and level indicator assembly. Pull the oil fill tube upward to unseat from block.
7. Label and disengage the injector harness electrical connector.
8. Detach the throttle body-to-air intake duct.
9. Tag and disconnect the power brake vacuum hose from the throttle body.
10. Remove the throttle cable bracket.
11. Remove the throttle body from the intake manifold with the electrical harness and throttle cable attached and position the assembly aside.
12. Tag and disconnect the MAP sensor vacuum hose from the intake manifold, then remove the intake manifold brace.
13. Detach the electrical connectors from the MAP sensor, IAT sensor and the EVAP canister purge solenoid.
14. If not already done, detach the upper (inlet) radiator hose from the water outlet.
15. Disengage the coolant temperature sensor connector(s).
16. Unfasten the cylinder head bolts in reverse order of the installation sequence shown in the accompanying figures.
17. Lift the cylinder head from the engine block. Remove and discard the gasket. Inspect the oil flow check valve for freedom of movement.
18. Using a suitable solvent, thoroughly clean and dry all bolts, bolt holes and mating surfaces. Inspect the head bolts for any damage and replace, if necessary. If using a scraper to clean the old gasket material from the mating surfaces, use only a plastic or wood one, NOT a metal scraper. Do NOT allow any debris to fall into the engine! To install:
    
19. Place a new cylinder head gasket on the cylinder block, then carefully position the cylinder head in place.
20. Sparingly coat the head bolt threads with clean engine oil, then allow the oil to drain off before installing.
21. On 1988-89 engines, install and tighten the cylinder head bolts, in sequence, as follows:
    • Step 1 - Tighten all head bolts in sequence to 26 ft. lbs. (35 Nm)
    • Step 2 - Using a torque angle meter, tighten the short bolts an additional 80°and the long bolts an additional 90°in sequence Fig. 5: Cylinder head bolt tightening sequence - 1988-89 2.3L engine
      
22. On 1990-91 engines, tighten the cylinder head bolts, in sequence, as follows:
    • Step 1 - Tighten all head bolts in sequence to 26 ft. lbs. (35 Nm)
    • Step 2 - Using a torque angle meter, tighten the short bolts an additional 100°and the long bolts an additional 110°in sequence Fig. 6: Cylinder head bolt tightening sequence - 1How do I remove the head? (Blown Head gasket) - 86883122.gifengine
      
23. On 1992 engines, tighten the cylinder head bolts, in sequence, as follows:
    • Step 1 - Tighten, in sequence, head bolts 1-6 to 26 ft. lbs. (35 Nm), 7-8 to 15 ft. lbs. (20 Nm) and 9-10 to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm).
    • Step 2 - Tighten all head bolts, in sequence, an additional 90°using J 36660 or equivalent
    • Step 3 - In sequence, loosen each bolt one turn, then immediately re-tighten to the specified torque
    • Step 4 - After completing step 3 on all 10 bolts, tighten each bolt, in sequence, an additional 90° How do I remove the head? (Blown Head gasket) - 86883123.gifinder head bolt tightening sequence - 1992 2.3L engine
      
24. On 1993-95 vehicles, tighten the cylinder head bolts to the specifications shown in the acHow do I remove the head? (Blown Head gasket) - 86883124.gifigures. Fig. 8: Cylinder head bolt tightening sequence and specifications - 1993 2.3L engine

25. Engage the coolant temperature sensor electrical connector(s).
26. Connect the upper radiator hose to the water outlet.
27. Install the intake manifold bracket.
28. Attach the following electrical connections: MAP sensor, IAT sensor, and the purge solenoid.
29. Using a new gasket, install the throttle body to the intake manifold.
30. Install the accelerator control cable bracket.
31. Connect the throttle body-to-air intake duct.
32. Install the oil fill tube and level indicator.
33. Install the camshaft housing(s).
34. Install the exhaust manifold. For details, please refer to the procedure located in this section.
35. Connect the heater inlet and throttle body heater hoses to the water outlet.
36. Fill all fluids to their proper levels.
37. Connect the battery cable, start the engine and check for leaks.
