System Specifications

CYLINDER HEAD FLATNESS
Using a precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the surfaces contacting the cylinder block and the manifolds for warpage.
Maximum warpage: 0.10 mm (0.0039 inch)






CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT
Using vernier calipers, measure the thread outside diameter of the bolt.
Standard outside diameter: 9.770 - 9.960 mm (0.3846 - 0.3921 inch)
Minimum outside diameter: 9.70 mm (0.3819 inch)

CYLINDER HEAD (RH)





a. Check that the cut part of the crankshaft timing pulley is in the position shown in the illustration, and that the piston is the TDC of compression
b. Install the cylinder head with manifold RH to the cylinder block.
c. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the head of the cylinder head bolts.
d. Insert the bolt and washer engaged each other into the cylinder head.

NOTICE: Be careful not to drop washers into the cylinder head.





e. Install and uniformly tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts. and plate washers, in the sequence shown.
Torque: 59 Nm (600 kgf-cm, 44 ft. lbs.)





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