Troubleshooting

Engine overheating after installation

Ensure the cooling system was properly bled of air. Verify that all coolant hoses are securely connected and that the water pump is functioning correctly. Check for any external coolant leaks.

Coolant or oil leaks detected around the cylinder head

Re-check torque specifications and tightening sequence for cylinder head bolts. Ensure mating surfaces were perfectly clean and flat prior to installation. Verify all gasket edges are seated correctly.

Reduced engine power or misfires

Confirm that valve stem seals were installed correctly and that valves are seating properly. Check ignition timing and ensure no vacuum leaks are present.
