2. Fill the cooling system.
3. Start the engine, check for leaks and repair if necessary.

3.3L & 3.8L Engines

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Drain the cooling system.
3. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
4. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   CAUTION

   The intake manifold gaskets are made of a very thin metal and can cause injury if not properly handled.
   
   
   
   NOTE

   Keep all valvetrain components in order for assembly
   
   
   
   
   Negative battery cable

   Wiper module if removing the right cylinder head

   Upper and lower intake manifolds
   
   
   
   
   Valve covers.

2. Install the cylinder head with a new gasket. The left bank gasket has an L on it and is located at the front of the engine. The right gasket has an R stamped on it and is located at the rear of the engine. Tighten the bolts in sequence, as follows:
   
   
   
   
   1. Step 1: Tighten bolts 1-8 to 45 ft. lbs. (61 Nm).
   2. Step 2: Tighten bolts 1-8 to 65 ft. lbs. (88 Nm).
   3. Step 3: Tighten bolts 1-8 to 65 ft. lbs. (88 Nm).
   4. Step 4: Bolts 1-8 plus 90 degrees.
   5. Step 5: Tighten bolt 9 to 25 ft. lbs. (33 Nm).
3. Check that the torque on bolts 1-8 has exceeded 90 ft. lbs. (122 Nm). If not, replace the bolt.
4. Install or connect the following:
   
   
   Pushrods

   Rocker arm and shaft assemblies

   Valve covers

   Exhaust manifolds

   Dipstick tube with a new O-ring

   Spark plugs

   Intake manifolds

   Wiper module, if removed
