(1) Injector hold down spacer
1. Transfer the six injector hold down spacer pucks (1) beneath the injector hold downs over to the
new head. Refer to Illustration 3
2. Compare new and old head gaskets. An 11L head gasket on a 13L engine will stop the engine
from turning over once the head is torqued down since the bore size is smaller than a 13L
piston.
a. 11L gasket does NOT have a notch at the RR corner of the cylinder head gasket. Refer to
Illustration 2.
b. 13L gasket does have a notch at the RR corner of the cylinder head gasket Refer to
Illustration 1.
3. Time the cam gear per the service manual.
