This bulletin is being issued to revise the Cylinder Head Installation and Cylinder Head Replacement Procedures within the Engine Unit Repair and Engine Mechanical sub-sections of the Service Manuals.

The information has been updated within SI2000. If you are using a paper version of the Service Manual, please make a reference to this bulletin on the affected pages.
