13. Install cylinder head completely with intake and exhaust manifolds.
- Apply engine oil to threads and seating surfaces of cylinder head bolts before installing them.
- Be sure to install washers between bolts and cylinder head.

CAUTION: If cylinder head bolt exceeds limit of dimension "A", replace it.
Dimension "A": 158.2 mm (6.228 inch)





14. Tighten cylinder head bolts using the following procedure.
a. Tighten all bolts to 39 Nm (4.0 kg-m, 29 ft. lbs.).
b. Tighten all bolts to 78 Nm (8.0 kg-m, 58 ft. lbs.).
c. Loosen all bolts completely.
d. Tighten all bolts to 34 to 44 Nm (3.5 to 4.5 kg-m, 25 to 33 ft. lbs.).

e. Method A: Turn all bolts 90 to 95 degrees clockwise with Tool or suitable angle wrench.
Method B: If an angle wrench is not available, mark all cylinder head bolts on the side facing engine front. Then, turn each cylinder head bolt 90 to 95° clockwise.
f. Turn all bolts another 90 to 95° clockwise.
g. Ensure that paint mark on each bolt faces the rear of the engine. (Method B only.)
Do not turn any bolt 180 to 190 degrees clockwise all at once.





15. Install cylinder head outside bolts.

- RH camshaft key at about 12 o'clock.
- Apply new engine oil to bearing and cam surfaces of camshafts before installing them.





- Position camshaft brackets as shown in the illustration. Apply new engine oil to threads and seating surfaces of camshaft bracket bolts before installing them.





- Arrange bolts (Size and length).
(A): M6 x 53.8mm (2.12 inch)
(B): M6 x 37 mm (1.46 inch)
(C): M8 x 35 mm (1.38 inch)
(D): M6 x 64 mm (2.52 inch)








- Tightening procedure
STEP 1:
RH camshaft
Tighten bolts (9) - (10) in that order, then tighten bolts (1) - (8) in numerical order: 2 Nm (0.2 kg-m, 17 inch lbs)
LH camshaft
Tighten bolts (11) - (12) in that order, then tighten bolts (1) - (10) in numerical order: 2 Nm (0.2 kgs.cm, 17 inch lbs)
STEP 2:
Tighten bolts in numerical order: 6 Nm (0.6 kgs.cm, 52 inch lbs)
STEP 3:
Tighten bolts in numerical order.
Bolt type (A), (B), (D): 9.8 - 11.8 Nm (1.0 - 1.2 kg-m, 7.2 - 8.7 ft. lbs.)
Bolt type (C): 18 - 25 Nm (1.8 - 2.6 kgs.cm, 13 - 19 ft. lbs.)





22. Install camshaft sprockets. Line up mating marks on timing chain with mating marks on camshaft sprockets.





- Lock camshafts as shown in figure and tighten to specified torque.

137 - 157 Nm (14.0 - 16.0 kg-m, 101 - 116 ft. lbs.)

Apply new engine oil to threads and seating surfaces of camshaft sprocket bolts before installing them.





23. Install timing chain guide.





24. Install distributor.
- Make sure that position of camshaft is as shown in figure.





- Make sure that No. 1 piston is set at TDC and that distributor rotor is set at No. 1 cylinder spark position.








25. Install chain tensioner. Make sure the camshaft sprockets are tightened completely. Press cam stopper down and "press-in" sleeve until hook can be engaged on pin. When tensioner is bolted in position the hook will release automatically. Make sure arrow "A" points toward engine front.
