17. Remove the ignition coil assembly. Refer to Ignition Control Module Replacement in Engine Controls - 2.2 L..



18. Remove the accessory bracket.
19. Disconnect the secondary ignition wires from the spark plugs. Refer to Spark Plug Replacement in Engine Controls - 2.2 L.



20. Remove the cylinder head bolts.
21. Remove the cylinder head.
22. Clean the following components:

•	Head gasket surface

•	Valve rocker arm cover gasket surface

•

Threads

Important: Install the cylinder head gasket with the words THIS SIDE UP showing. Do not use sealer on the gasket.

1. Install the cylinder head gasket to the block.
2. Use a socket in order to push the cylinder head gasket over the rear dowel pin.



3. Carefully guide the cylinder head into place over the dowel pins. This operation may require an assistant.




Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Important: Use J 36660-A in order to tighten all the cylinder head bolts an additional 90 degrees in sequence.
