9. Remove the bolts and the valve rocker arm cover.
10. Clean all sealing surfaces. Refer to Valve Rocker Arm Cover Cleaning and Inspection .

1. Install the valve rocker arm cover and bolts. Refer to Valve Rocker Arm Cover Installation .




Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve inlet pipe into the intake and exhaust manifolds.
