  Q: How to Replace a Cylinder Head and Gasket on Hyundai Excel?

  A: Allow the engine to cool completely before following this procedure. To aid installation, note the locations of all brackets and the routing of hoses and cables before removing them. Position the number one piston at Top Dead Center. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Drain the cooling system and remove the spark plugs. Remove the Intake Manifold and the Exhaust Manifold. Remove the distributor or ignition coil pack, including the spark plug wires. On carbureted models, remove the air cleaner assembly and intake duct, then remove the fuel pump. Remove the Timing Belt and the valve cover. Loosen the cylinder head bolts, 1/4-turn at a time, in the sequence shown until they can be removed by hand. Carefully lift the cylinder head straight up and place it on wooden blocks to prevent damage to the sealing surfaces. If the head sticks to the engine block, dislodge it by placing a block of wood against the head casting and tapping the wood with a hammer. It's a good idea to have the head checked for warpage, even if you're just replacing the gasket. Remove all traces of gasket material from the block and head, ensuring nothing falls into the engine. Clean and inspect all threaded fasteners and ensure the threaded holes in the block are clean and dry. Place a new gasket and the cylinder head in position, installing the new head gasket dry as it can only go on one way due to the dowels. Tighten the cylinder head bolts progressively and in the correct sequence to the specified torque. Install the timing belt. Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal. Be sure to refill the cooling system and check all fluid levels. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise slowly by hand through two complete revolutions and recheck the Camshaft timing marks. Start the engine and set the ignition timing. Run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached, checking for leaks and proper operation. Shut off the engine, remove the valve cover, and re-tighten the cylinder head bolts, unless the gasket manufacturer states otherwise. On 1994 and earlier models, recheck the valve adjustment.
