9 OF 10 MAKE THIS MISTAKE. CYLINDER HEAD REMOVAL

In this video we will explain how to remove cylinder head the correct way. Most people never remove the cylinder head the correct way. As you know there is a specific torque specs and sequence to install the cylinder head. The concept apply to removing the cylinder head as well. Most people will remove the bolts but NOT in a specific sequence as a result they may make cylinder head uneven. In this video we explain what you need to know about removing the cylinder head.

Thank you for sharing this video, I hope this prevents more people from unknowingly warping their cylinder head(s). I have always removed/installed in this way.

[bennylloyd-willner]

@4:00 you actually tighten the bolt 😁 (you're supposed to go counterclockwise) Another thing, the sequence is diagonal on some engines so the pattern (on your pad swap 3-4 and 7-8 to get a diagonal pattern) you show may not be the correct one for some engines, always check the repair handbook on the specific vehicle/engine is my recommendation.

[benthurber]

Save yourself the watch. His advice is to not zap the bolts off, but to reverse the tightening sequence in steps. This can reduce stress and potential deflection of the head/block. 0:05

[afzaalkhan.m]

Excellent advise . Quarter turn then half turn opening sequence. 90' and 180' degrees.

An easy way to remove a stubborn cylinder head--after all the bolts are undone, find which piston(s) are closest to TDC, and release their rocker arms so that all valves in that cylinder are closed on their seats. Pull the spark plug, and pump pressurized air from an air compressor or bicycle tire pump. Often the head will pop loose.

I’m always super cautious, I go with and 1/8 of turn, another 1/8, another 1/8 etc....takes forever 😁

[etienlemut]

GOOD INFO !!!! All you mechanics out there i think you should do it this way.

[LouiseTurner-xz]

This process sounds very reasonable. Does the head still need to be milled flat? How about the reassembly torque process?

[petesmith]

I’m glad I watched this. I’m removing my first head tomorrow

[chethikawijesinghe]

really important video and easy to understand.

[jahaankhan]

Good stuff. Rather be safe than sorry.

[weslightburn]

Great video thanks for your helpful advice

[davidturner]

Very interesting. I never knew you had to remove the head bolts in a certain sequence.

[jasonpooler]

I wish I seen this before trying to remove mine.

[andygraham]

Head bolts loosen anti-clockwise. Bolts tighten in a clockwise direction take care 4:28

[Altair]

Pretty hard to tell if the bolt slackening sequence has much to do with it. Most of the time, if a head is being removed it's because there's been an engine failure of some sort, or the head gasket has failed. Usually because of overheating, in which case the head will be warped anyway 9 times out of 10.

[johncollins]

Hi I have a 2012 Mitsubishi 2.5 Barbarian DID do you have a video showing how to change the head gasket. Great Videos you have helped me many times hope you can help with this one. Many thanks keep up the good work Jon

[EmeraldOtringal]

And when you assemble it back you need to do it exactly in the reverse order, from center towards the outside.

[richbaumann]

I remember this on my VW aircooled engines.
