4. Install gear (1) and the shaft in the cylinder head. Install two O-ring seals, washers, lock and bolts to hold the shaft in position.

NOTE: Always install a new gasket between the spacer plate and the cylinder block.

5. Clean the top surface of the spacer plate and the bottom surface of the cylinder head. Install the head gasket and water seals.

6. Fasten tooling (B) and a hoist to the cylinder head. Put the cylinder head assembly in position on the engine. Weight is approximately 400 lb. (180 kg).

7. Put 5P3931 Anti-Seize Compound on the threads of the bolts. Tighten the bolts in the following step sequence:

a) Tighten all the bolts in number sequence to a torque of 175 ± 10 lb.ft. (240 ± 14 N·m).

b) Tighten all the bolts in number sequence to a torque of 250 ± 10 lb.ft. (340 ± 14 N·m).

c) Tighten all the bolts by hand in number sequence to a torque of 250 ± 10 lb.ft. (340 ± 14 N·m).

8. Install bolts (4) that hold the governor to the left cylinder head.

9. Fasten straps and a hoist to the aftercooler housing. Put the gasket and aftercooler housing (5) in position on the cylinder head and install the bolts that hold it in place. Weight is approximately 260 lb. (117 kg).
