Installation
CAUTION: The 4.0L engine should always be assembled using new cylinder head bolts.
NOTE: If cylinder heads were completely disassembled, refer to
Assembly in this section.
NOTE: Head gaskets are not interchangeable, they are either right- or left-hand side.
NOTE: The cylinder heads and intake manifold installation procedure has changed. The cylinder
head bolts and intake manifold bolts are tightened alternately and in sequence to ensure correct fit
and gasket crush. Failure to follow complete sequence will cause follow-up repair. The following
steps provide the new tightening procedure for cylinder head and intake manifold bolts.
