If Water Coolant Manifold Is Removed:
Some engine arrangements may require removal of the coolant manifold in order to access the 8N-7639 Elbows. This is due to the amount of peripheral iron located around the cylinder heads. If you are unfamiliar with the engine that you are working on, take the parts listed below as a precaution. The parts listed below will be needed only if the coolant manifolds are removed.

Rework Procedure
Rework Procedure Verification of Manufacturing Date
Cylinder heads with manufactured dates between 12/10/99 and 1/31/00 are suspect. Any cylinder heads with manufactured dates before 12/9/99 or after 2/1/00 are not effected by the blockage. The engines listed above may or may not contain the suspect heads. To verify if heads need to be inspected for blockage, check the manufacturing date stamped on the left-hand front corner of each cylinder head. See Illustration 1 for location of the manufacturing date. The manufacturing date is in the format of MM/DD/YY.
Illustration 1. Only cylinder heads stamped with manufactured dates between 12/10/99 and 1/31/00 need to be inspected for blockage.
Inspection for blockage
The engine coolant must be drained below the level of the cylinder heads before the 8N-7639 Elbows should be removed.
Remove the 8N-7639 Elbow from each suspect cylinder head. The 8N-7639 Elbow transports coolant from the cylinder head to the coolant manifold.
