COVER-CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder head cover and the intake manifold on this engine are made of cast aluminum. The cylinder head cover also incorporates a oil drain back hole for the crankcase ventilation (CCV) system.
REMOVAL

CAUTION: Before removing the cylinder head cover/intake manifold (2) the witness mark on the crankshaft hub must rotated to the 3 O'clock position or, 90° after TDC to assure proper alignment of the camshafts and the crankshaft. Failure to do so could result in valve and/or piston damage during reassembly.
