low, semi-deep, and deep sockets with
extensions as needed to remove the turbo
and evacuate the A/C system with our
Robinair 32700Z recovery machine.
From there, they removed the A/C
compressor and alternator with all associated
hoses, wiring, and lines for access
to the exhaust manifold.
With all the accessories out of the way,
access to the manifold was much better.
Grabbing the Milwaukee M18 Fuel 3/8 "
impact, they removed all the bolts and
nuts holding it on. Once we removed the
manifold for inspection, we found studs
broken off flush with the head surface at
the front and rear exhaust ports.
We got lucky with two out of the three
broken studs and were able to remove
them using the Snap-on and Irwin bolt
extractor sets relatively easily. The last
one... not so much. When drilling out the
remaining stud, we went just a bit too far
p The cylinder head is reassembled and ready to have the valve clearances set up.

and got into the oil galley. No fixing that.
We made the decision to replace the cylinder
head since the unit could not costeffectively
be easily replaced and is still
very much capable for use in the field.
We drained the remaining coolant and
removed the intake piping, coolant hoses,
serpentine belt and tensioner, cooling fan
blade, fan clutch assembly, which was bad
(it was spinning freely) and the accessory
bracket, which was found to be cracked.
We decided it was the best time to replace
the radiator and A/C condenser as well
since they were original and in poor shape
once we inspected them more closely.
Next, the techs removed the intake
manifold, valve cover, injectors, harnesses,
tappet rack, rails, and push rods.
Removal of the cylinder head was fairly
straightforward once we figured out the
best way to support it using a fork truck
and loggers chain with assistance from a
48 " Mayhew prybar. Once on the bench,
we removed all remaining components
that would be transferred to the remanufactured
cylinder head.
We found clips and a few other items
that would need to be replaced as well.
No surprise, honestly, since the vehicle is
our oldest and we have never had reason
