• Q: How to remove the cylinder head gasket on 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: Discharging fuel system pressure is necessary to start the procedure of removing the cylinder head gasket. The cable must get disconnected from the negative battery terminal followed by a 90-second wait period before the SRS system can be effectively disabled. You must remove the exhaust manifold sub-assembly before dealing with the camshaft. Start by taking out the No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assembly and follow it with the valve lash adjuster assembly and valve stem cap. The procedure to remove the left-hand cylinder head sub-assembly starts with uniform loosening of two specified bolts using the specified sequence followed by using a 10mm bi-hexagon wrench to uniformly loosen ten cylinder head bolts and plate washers while being careful to avoid dropping washers into the cylinder head as improper removal order may lead to head warpage or cracking. The cylinder head and gasket should be handled one section at a time after you organize removed parts by position. The same process should be used for the right-hand cylinder head sub-assembly after executing the precautions and arranging procedures exactly as before.
