Hi,

This is somewhat of a big job. LOL Also, please confirm this is a 1.7L engine. You indicated it as a 1.6L, and there is nothing like that for this model year.

Regardless, if you look below, I attached the removal and installation directions for the cylinder head. When you do this, make sure the timing belt is set properly. This is an interference engine. If the timing is off, it can cause internal damage.

The directions include the torque specs as well. If you need help with the timing belt, let me know.

Take care and let me know if this helps.

Joe
