Valve Rocker Arm Cover Replacement Left

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.



2. Disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark plugs. Refer to Spark Plug Wire Harness Replacement in Engine Electrical.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness from the clips, and move the harness aside.



4. Remove the air conditioning compressor, if equipped, and lay the A/C compressor aside. Refer to Air Conditioning Compressor Replacement in HVAC.



5. Remove the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pipe from the intake and exhaust manifolds.



6. Remove the PCV and the hose.
7. Remove the vacuum brake booster pipe, if equipped, and move it aside.



8. Remove the AIR check valve crossover pipe, if equipped.



9. Remove the valve rocker arm cover and the gasket. Refer to Valve Rocker Arm Cover Removal (Left) .
10. Clean all traces of old gasket from the valve rocker arm cover and the cylinder head. Refer to Valve Rocker Arm Cover Clean and Inspect .

1. Install the valve rocker arm cover. Refer to Valve Rocker Arm Cover Installation (Left) .



2. Remove the air conditioning compressor. Refer to Air Conditioning Compressor Replacement in HVAC.

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.




3. Install the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pipe to the intake and exhaust manifolds.
