- Remove the white wiring harness clip locks.
- Disconnect the ignition coil wiring harness from the ignition coils.
- Remove the ignition coil wiring harness retainer bolts.
- Open the 2 wiring harness retainers and remove the ignition coil wiring harness.
- Remove the ignition coil bolts.
- Remove the ignition coils.
- Clean the valve rocker arm cover in solvent.
- Dry the covers with compressed air.
- Inspect the covers for the following:
- Install the ignition coils.
- Install the ignition coil bolts.
- Install and secure the ignition coil wiring harness into the 2 wiring harness retainers.
- Install the ignition coil wiring harness retainer bolts.
- Connect the ignition coil wiring harness to the ignition coils, making sure the connectors for cylinders one and three, and cylinders six and eight are connected to the corresponding ignition coils.
- Install the white wiring harness clip locks.
Notice: In order to ensure correct reinstallation, mark the ignition wiring harness connectors for cylinders one and three, and cylinders six and eight prior to disconnection. Failure to reconnect the ignition wiring harness connectors to the proper ignition coils may result in serious engine damage.
Notice: This component is initially installed using a self-tapping bolt. Care should be taken when removing and/or installing the self-tapping bolt. Failure to use care when removing and/or installing the self-tapping bolt can lead to damage and unnecessary replacement of the self-tapping bolt and/or the component the self-tapping bolt is threaded into.
Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.
Important: Do not clean or submerge the ignition coils in solvent.
Remove the ignition coils before cleaning the cover in solvent. To prevent damage to the gasket, minimize solvent contact with the gaskets.| • | Gouges or damage to the sealing surfaces |
| • | Cracking or damage to the valve cover gasket |
| • | Debris or damage to the bolt hole threads |
Notice: This bolt is a self-tapping bolt. If installing this bolt into a new component, installation of the bolt may be difficult. Ensure that the bolt is not over-torqued during the initial installation (thread cutting). Failure to limit torque can lead to bolt failure.
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.
