HEAD TORQUE AND SEQUENCE

The cylinder head bolts are tightened in 2 progressive steps. If any cylinder head bolt is broken or deformed, replace it.





Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the cylinder head bolts.
- Install the plate washer to the cylinder head bolt.
- Install and uniformly tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts, and plate washers, in the order shown in the illustration.
- Torque: 40 Nm (408 kgf-cm, 30 ft. lbs.)

If any one of the cylinder head bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the cylinder head bolt.
