  5. Remove the electronic control module and the mounting bracket. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Electronic Control Module - Remove and Install".

  6. Remove the electronic unit injectors. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Electronic Unit Injector - Remove".

  7. Remove the valve mechanism cover base. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Valve Mechanism Cover Base - Remove".

  8. Remove the glow plugs. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Glow Plugs - Remove and Install".


NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.



NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


  1. Drain the coolant from the cooling system into a suitable container for storage or for disposal. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Cooling System Coolant - Change" for the correct draining procedure.

    Typical example

  3. Remove the air inlet hose from inlet connection (3) on inlet manifold (2).

  4. Follow Steps 4.a and 4.b in order to disconnect harness assembly (4) from coolant temperature sensor (5).

    1. Slide the locking tab into the unlocked position.

    2. Disconnect harness assembly (4) from coolant temperature sensor (5).

  5. Follow Steps 5.a and 5.b in order to disconnect harness assembly (4) from boost pressure sensor (6).

    1. Slide the locking tab into the unlocked position.

    2. Disconnect harness assembly (4) from boost pressure sensor (6).

  6. Follow Steps 6.a and 6.b in order to disconnect harness assembly (4) from inlet air temperature sensor (7).

    1. Slide the locking tab into the unlocked position.

    2. Disconnect harness assembly (4) from inlet air temperature sensor (7).

  7. Remove all cable straps that secure harness assembly (4) to the cylinder head or to the inlet manifold. The harness assembly should be positioned in order to avoid causing an obstruction during the removal of the cylinder head.

    Sequence for tightening the bolts for the cylinder head

  11. Gradually loosen bolts (14) in the reverse numerical order to the tightening sequence. Refer to the illustration 6.

    Note: Follow the correct sequence in order to help prevent distortion of the cylinder head.

  12. Remove bolts (14) from cylinder head (15).


    Illustration 7g01340086
    Typical example

  13. Attach a suitable lifting device (16) to cylinder head (15). Support the weight of the cylinder head. The weight of the cylinder head is approximately 66 kg (145.5 lb).

    Note: A spreader bar must be used in order to distribute the weight of the cylinder head during the lifting operation.

  14. Use suitable lifting device (16) to carefully lift cylinder head (15) off the cylinder block.

    Note: Do not use a lever to separate the cylinder head from the cylinder block. Take care not to damage the machined surfaces of the cylinder head during the removal procedure.


    NOTICE

    Place the cylinder head on a surface that will not scratch the face of the cylinder head.
