Hyundai Elantra MD/UD: Removal - Cylinder Head. Repair procedures - Cylinder Head Assembly - Engine Mechanical System - Hyundai Elantra MD 2010-2015 Service manualHyundai Elantra MD/UD: Removal

Engine removal is not required for this procedure.
Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the engine coolant temperature drops below normal temperature (20°C [68°F]) before removing it.
When handling a metal gasket, take care not to fold the gasket or damage the contact surface of the gasket.
To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is at TDC (Top dead center).

29.
Remove the cylinder head.
(1)
Using bit socket (12PT), uniformly loosen and remove the cylinder head bolts, in several passes, in the sequence as shown.

Head warpage or cracking could result from removing bolts in an incorrect order.
(2)
Lift the cylinder head (A) from the dowels on the cylinder block and place the cylinder head on wooden blocks on a bench.
Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of the cylinder head and cylinder block.
(3)
