CYLINDER HEAD | REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION WARNING: The engine must be completely cool before beginning this procedure. NOTE: The cylinder head can be removed with the intake and exhaust manifold/turbocharger attached. REMOVAL (Refer to illustrations 10.10 and 10.12)

1. Drain the engine coolant (see Chapter 1).
2. Refer to Chapter 11 and remove the hood and the cowl cover.
3. Refer to Section 5 and remove the timing belt. Follow Steps 1 through 20, and then proceed to Step 26. After driving the camshaft sprocket off the taper on the camshaft, remove the camshaft sprocket and the timing belt tensioner from the engine. After the timing belt, the timing belt tensioner and the camshaft sprocket have been removed, reinstall the passenger side engine mount to support the engine during the removal and installation of the cylinder head.
4. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the EGR valve. Then disconnect the vacuum hose and wire harness from the air shut off valve solenoid at the back of the intake manifold.
5. Remove the EGR cooler and pipes (see Chapter 6B).
6. Refer to Chapter 4B and remove all the related components from the turbocharger: the front exhaust pipe, the wastegate vacuum hose, the turbocharger support bracket, the air intake duct and pipes from the turbocharger to the air cleaner housing, the oil supply pipe, the oil return pipe and the heat shield.
7. Also referring to chapter 4B disconnect and remove the fuel supply and return lines from the injectors and the injection pump head. Be sure to remove all the lines together as an assembly.
8. Unplug all electrical connectors, including the glow plug electrical bus connector from the cylinder head, labeling each wire or connector to aid the installation process.
