How to remove the cylinder head gasket on 2009 Toyota Sequoia?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step for removing a 2UZ-FE cylinder head gasket is to disconnect the negative cable from the battery terminal with a 90-second waiting period to disable SRS system operations. Start by taking off the front wiper arm together with their blades from both sides before moving on to eliminate the fender-to-cowl side seals from both sides followed by the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly and the front wiper motor and link assembly. The installer should remove the outer cowl top panel sub-assembly together with the No. 1 engine under cover and drain the engine coolant. The next step includes deleting the front exhaust pipe assembly together with the front No. 2 exhaust pipe assembly. First disconnect the camshaft and remove the vacuum hose assembly and finally remove the No. 3 water by-pass pipe together with the EFI fuel pipe clamp while taking out both sub-assemblies for the No. 1 and No. 2 fuel pipes. The technician must remove the intake manifold and inlet water housing next before taking out the front water by-pass joint along with the water by-pass pipe sub-assembly that includes the O-ring removal step. The air hose must be detached first followed by removing the rear water by-pass joint before extracting valve lifters and shims from the cylinder head. Keep them organized according to order. Synchronize the torque when loosening the 10 cylinder head bolts arranged in sequence on the left cylinder head (Bank 1) before removing them and plate washers to securely pry off the cylinder head without causing damage to the contact surfaces. The last step involves removing the cylinder head gasket after performing this operation on the right cylinder head (Bank 2) and its counterpart (Bank 1).
