Recommended Actions

Engine Oil Cooler

1. Drain the engine lubricating oil from the engine.

2. Check for internal leaks in the oil cooler assembly. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Cooling System" for the correct procedure. If a leak is found, install a new oil cooler.

2. Inspect the cylinder head gasket for faults and any signs of leakage.

3. Proceed to the recommended actions for "Cylinder Head".

Cylinder Head

1. Check the cylinder head for flatness. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Cylinder Head - Inspect" for the correct procedure.

2. Check the mating face of the cylinder head for faults and signs of leakage. If a fault is found, replace the cylinder head. If signs of leakage are found, determine the cause of the leakage. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Cylinder Head - Inspect" for the correct procedure.

3. Check the internal core plugs in the cylinder head for signs of leakage.

4. Proceed to "Cylinder Block".

Cylinder Block

Inspect the top face of the cylinder block for faults and signs of leakage. If a fault is found, replace the cylinder block. If signs of leakage are found, determine the cause of the leakage. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Cylinder Block - Inspect" for the correct procedure.

Assembly after Repair

1. Install the cylinder head. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Cylinder Head - Install".
