Cylinder Head Assembly: Specifications

INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSY
a. Place a new cylinder head gasket on the cylinder block.

HINT: On the rear side of the cylinder head gasket are marks to distinguish the RH and LH banks, a "3R" mark for the RH bank

NOTICE: Be careful of the installation direction.

b. Place the cylinder head on the cylinder head gasket.





c. Install the cylinder head bolts.

HINT: The cylinder head bolts are tightened in 2 progressive steps (steps (3) and (5)). If any cylinder head bolt is broken or deformed, replace it.

1. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the cylinder head bolts.
2. Install the plate washer to the cylinder head bolt.
3. Install and uniformly tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts on one side of the cylinder head in several passes in the sequence shown.
Torque: 59 Nm (600 kgf-cm, 44 ft. lbs.)
If any one of the cylinder head bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the cylinder head bolt.





NOTICE: Do not drop the plate washer for cylinder head bolt into portion A of the cylinder head. If dropped into portion A, the plate washer will pass through the cylinder head and cylinder block into the oil pan.





4. Mark the front of the cylinder head bolt head with paint.
5. Retighten the cylinder head bolts by 90° in the numerical order shown.
6. Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to front.
