• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during repairs.
• Allow the engine to cool before beginning any work.

2. Replace Head Gasket (if identified as the issue)

• Remove the intake manifold:

  • Disconnect all associated sensors and hoses.
  • Remove bolts securing the manifold and lift it off.

• Remove the cylinder head:

  • Detach any remaining components connected to the cylinder head (e.g., timing belt or chain).
  • Unscrew the bolts in the proper sequence to avoid warping.
  • Carefully lift the head off and inspect for cracks.

• Clean mating surfaces:

  • Use a scraper to remove old gasket material from the cylinder head and engine block.
  • Ensure surfaces are clean and free of debris.

• Install new head gasket:

  • Place the new gasket onto the engine block, ensuring proper alignment.

• Reinstall cylinder head:

  • Carefully position the cylinder head onto the new gasket.
  • Torque the head bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications in the correct sequence.

3. Reassemble Engine Components

• Reattach the intake manifold:

  • Position the manifold back onto the engine.
  • Secure with bolts and reconnect all sensors and hoses.

• Refill Engine Coolant:

  • Fill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant type.

• Reconnect the battery:

  • Ensure all electrical connections are secure.
