DISASSEMBLY
1. Disassemble cylinder heads by first loosening cylinder
head bolts. Leave at least 2 bolts partially threaded to
prevent any problems if refrigerant is accidentally left in
the compressor under pressure. To separate the cylinder
head from the valve plate, pry up between the head and
valve plate. When the cylinder head is separated from
the compressor body remove the last threaded bolts.
Do not hit the cylinder head to break it free of the
valve plate. This may shear the valve plate dowel
pins. Sheared dowel pins usually require that the
compressor be replaced.
2. Inspect cylinder heads for warping, cracks, or damage to
gasket surfaces. Replace if necessary.
3. After the cylinder head is off, the valve plate may be
removed as follows:
a. Remove one valve stop cap screw and loosen the
other.
b. Swivel valve stop to allow access to hole from
which the cap screw was removed.
c. Re-insert cap screw and tighten to break valve plate
away from compressor. (Jack screw method, see
Fig. 2.) For 06E valve plates, pry against the raised
tab to break valve plate away from the compressor.
