Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the cylinder head and engine block for warpage, corrosion, and surface damage before installation. Follow the factory torque sequence and torque specifications for the engine. Torque-to-yield head bolts must not be reused; replace them during head gasket service. Confirm bore diameter, engine code, and vehicle fitment before ordering HG149.
