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.
@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.
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
Hello! I have a lexus is220d(2007)with engine problems. I inherited it from my father. I don't want to sell it because it is too special for me. The mechanic said its too much cost to fix it. The same price as another car from this type. It is not worth fixing. I decided to try to disassemble the engine to reduce the costs. Sorry for bothering with this question but do you have any video that could help me? Thank you for your answer.
Have a 2011 4 cylinder Journey. Tried to do a plug change on it. The # 2 cylinder plug will turn but will not come out. Maybe it was put in cross treaded by the prior owner I don't know. What might be the problem causing this. How would one go about changing the head what kind of a process would that be ?
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.
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.
I'm actually glad I came across this video, because I'm removing my 4 cylinder head to hopefully get a small crack welded and I didn't know the removal process
And that's why I do my own work and never let anyone touch my car. Let's ignore the correct removal procedure, and risk damaging the heads, because I'd you're doing so something has probably gone wrong anyways. Incredibly lazy. Wow.
@@PJ-qx5yt Why else would you be pulling the head off? I'm afraid you're showing your ignorance here buddy. The fact is that if you are removing the head because you suspect there is a problem causing issues with the coolant system, then the head would not be going back on without being skimmed first anyway! In which case it absolutely does not matter how it is removed! See the logic now?🙄
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
I had a similiar case with an old 3 cyl engine. It was seized and the head would not come off. I filled up the cylinders with diesel fuel and left it for a couple of days. Then I went to town on it with a hammer and it was off. No damage whatsoever!
it says this in the service manual for every car. anyone working on a car who can't be bothered to crack open the service manual shouldn't be working on that car in my opinion.
I'll skip the disagreement and just move on to the clear mistake in this video. In every sequence example, using your breaker bar, you showed a motion. Just pointing that one out.
This is basic stuff i learned in auto shop in high school and cat also drills this into your head in there classes. Only weekend guys would do this unless they don't have a manual, most parts comes with instructions. I think only gave men do that on blown engines...lol
Any cave man can do this.. I carefully read the manual text and understood to loosen bolts with the obviously opposite procedure to tightening. I then proceeded to use the handy additional diagram working happily and carefully in logical numerical order meticulously loosening each bolt to the tightening pattern sequence… 💩
Right....in my car manual it says to turn each one 1/4 a turn until you can take them out by hand. The most important step is says is to reinstall the bolts in there exact location that they came out of which he clearly didn't mention lol.
If your a DIY ER AND dont have a basic haynes manual, chilton manual, all data, motor manual, Prodemand which you can get free at your local library that will explain all of that and the specs and much more so your wrong most people who know how to read know this
You are showing us how to remove the bolts but you demonstrate the 90° and 180° in clockwise direction, most Important here is another important thing, right tightly, lefty loose 😅
9 out of 10? Everyone I know checks torque specs as it’s one of the most basic steps…if you don’t know that; best stick to Lego until someone can show you.
Don't ever ever try to Remove the cylinder head unless you have to ,,,crack head or head gasket only ,,, the sell head gasket liquid gel ceramic liquid repair the only thing is they last 1 year 5 months ,, may last 2 years n 6 months by changing coolant to pink for aluminum , oil must be half n half thinner n thicker than regular old high mileage plus a additive called bestline , adding a small electric fan on hood with hood scoop, also using a larger thicker radiator, n . What this does keeps cool the liquid gel ceramic formula ,specially in hot summer heat storm rough n long drives overhauls ,. A head can be rebuild without removal with proper tools n directions, less time than removal,

at the beginning of the video when head revving i expected that '' beautiful voice of scotty cillmer.

Excellent advise . Quarter turn then half turn opening sequence. 90' and 180' degrees.
This process sounds very reasonable. Does the head still need to be milled flat? How about the reassembly torque process?
I’m always super cautious, I go with and 1/8 of turn, another 1/8, another 1/8 etc....takes forever 😁

Head bolts loosen anti-clockwise. Bolts tighten in a clockwise direction take care 4:28
Does this apply to any car? I have a 4 cyl. rio kia.
Very interesting. I never knew you had to remove the head bolts in a certain sequence.
Neither did I..... and I took one off last night...........
I wish I seen this before trying to remove mine.
Thankful you for the lesson,👍👍
Great video thanks for your helpful advice

48 seconds in, I thought the same as you I stop the video and I read the comments LOL.
It's where the best info is

Thank you for sharing
Good stuff. Rather be safe than sorry.
And when you assemble it back you need to do it exactly in the reverse order, from center towards the outside.
GOOD INFO !!!! All you mechanics out there i think you should do it this way.
really important video and easy to understand.
I’m glad I watched this. I’m removing my first head tomorrow
Thank you for this informative video.
Omg thank you!!!
Great video. Thanks for the info.
I learnt sumthin! Tky❤
Thanks bro very useful
thanks great video,what for a nissan frontier k24de. thanks again
I remember this on my VW aircooled engines.
Guys thanks. guys good video guys. helped alot guys. Guys
Very helpful! Thanks!
Good man ❤
Interesting.... Tq
Cool thank you.
How come most of ur videos u don't show any type of tutorial. I'm a visual learner
Thanks for the advice bro🇬🇧👍
Thank you for this video this is what I needed
Very helpful ! Great video more tips pls
Thought the thumbnail was a dog repairing the engine and i was like yeah obviously not a good idea but a good boy
very good info thanks
9 out of 10 ? Really I don't know a single mechanic who takes them off wrong, it must be an issue with people you know
i have a 2.4l 07 chevy colbalt ss and the head is stuck it wont come off all bolts have been properly removed any ideas?
I had a similiar case with an old 3 cyl engine. It was seized and the head would not come off. I filled up the cylinders with diesel fuel and left it for a couple of days. Then I went to town on it with a hammer and it was off. No damage whatsoever!
Great info thanks🤠👍
it says this in the service manual for every car. anyone working on a car who can't be bothered to crack open the service manual shouldn't be working on that car in my opinion.
Some cars are bought second hand and service manual s are hard to find. Especially for old cars like the 1967 Toyota.....
How many times he say ok?
I'll skip the disagreement and just move on to the clear mistake in this video. In every sequence example, using your breaker bar, you showed a motion. Just pointing that one out.
Thank you!
Iv always done this the same way normal make sure you torque rgt
I just used my impact gun and I started to left and moved to the right. Very fast.
What about putting it back on
Reverse
Genius
This is basic stuff i learned in auto shop in high school and cat also drills this into your head in there classes. Only weekend guys would do this unless they don't have a manual, most parts comes with instructions. I think only gave men do that on blown engines...lol

@@LoneWolf-ze2ht that's because most cars don't reuse the old head bolts, since they stretch. You have to buy and use brand new ones when reinstalling
Your link for your facebook page in desc. is broken
If you’re replacing the gasket with a new one why does it matter how you remove them.. when I stalling it’s important
Yeah better do it right or u will be redoing it again like me lmao , n dont fix ur cars 420ed out or this will happen to u also
lol true, just reminded me to
thx is he talking underwater??
Is there a good reason why most of the auto repair videos that I click on are with some Russian dude I can't fully understand?
If your a DIY ER AND dont have a basic haynes manual, chilton manual, all data, motor manual, Prodemand which you can get free at your local library that will explain all of that and the specs and much more so your wrong most people who know how to read know this
You are not uncrushing the head gasket.
You are showing us how to remove the bolts but you demonstrate the 90° and 180° in clockwise direction, most Important here is another important thing, right tightly, lefty loose 😅
Oh Ricky Booby I am a french formula un driver
The click bait has gotten ridiculous on here. This is like 15 videos titled "remove head" and literally not 1 has removed a head
It is because you can't read properly the title...
9 out of 10? Everyone I know checks torque specs as it’s one of the most basic steps…if you don’t know that; best stick to Lego until someone can show you.
You're wasting time I'm a machanic it's simple.
Over hyped bullshit really. Ive changed a hundred cyl heads and never had a problem. No need to follow any pattern for losen.
Yo this mf spittin facts
A fucking hate the loud as beginning.
Thank you so fucking much
You just saved me like alot of bs and money

I will defeat you RICKI BOBBY! lol....Is this the guy from Taledega nights?
Looks like him, could be his twin brother....
