Cylinder Head Installation
INSTALLATION
1. PLACE CYLINDER HEAD ON CYLINDER BLOCK

Seal packing: Part No. 08826 - 00080 or equivalent
NOTICE: Do not apply too much seal packing.
b. Place a new cylinder head gasket in position on the cylinder block.
NOTICE: Be careful of the installation direction.
c. Place the cylinder head in position on the cylinder head gasket.
2. INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS
HINT: The cylinder head bolts are tightened in 3 progressive steps (steps b, d and e).
If any cylinder head bolt is broken or deformed, replace it.
a. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the cylinder head bolts.
b. Install and uniformly tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts and plate washers, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Torque: 39 Nm (29 ft. lbs.)
If any of the cylinder head bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the cylinder head bolt.
c. Mark the front of the cylinder head bolt head with paint.
d. Retighten the cylinder head bolts by 90° in the numerical order shown.
e. Retighten the cylinder head bolts by an additional 90°.
f. Check that the painted mark is now facing rearward.
g. Install and torque the 2 bolts.
Torque: 21 Nm (15 ft. lbs.)
3. ASSEMBLE EXHAUST CAMSHAFT
a. Mount the hexagon wrench head portion of the camshaft in a vise.
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the camshaft.
b. Install these parts:
1) Camshaft gear spring
2) Camshaft sub-gear
3) Wave washer
HINT: Align the pins on the gears with the spring ends.
c. Using snap ring pliers, install the snap ring.
d. Using Special Service Tool (SST), align the holes of the camshaft main gear and sub-gear by turning sub-gear clockwise, and install a service bolt.
SST 09960 - 10010 (09962 - 01000, 09963 - 00500)
4. INSTALL CAMSHAFTS
NOTICE: Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while it is being installed. If the camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the cylinder head receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, causing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, these steps should be carried out.
a. Apply MP grease to the thrust portion of the intake camshaft.
b. Place the intake camshaft with knock pin facing upward of camshaft angle on the cylinder head.
c. Install the bearing caps in their proper locations.
d. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the bearing cap bolts.
e. Install and uniformly tighten the 10 bearing cap bolts in the sequence shown.
Torque: 15.5 Nm (12 ft. lbs.)
f. Apply MP grease to the thrust portion of the exhaust camshaft.
g. Engage the exhaust camshaft gear to the intake camshaft gear by matching the timing marks (1 and 2 dots) on each gear.
NOTICE: There are also timing marks (for Top Dead Center (TDC)) on each gear as shown in the illustration. Do not use these marks.
h. Roll down the exhaust camshaft onto the bearing journals while engaging gears with each other.
i. Install the bearing caps in their proper locations.
j. Apply light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the bearing cap bolts.
k. Install and uniformly tighten the 10 bearing cap bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Torque: 15.5 Nm (12 ft. lbs.)
k. Remove the service bolt. Check that the intake and exhaust camshafts turn smoothly.
5. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
a. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise, and align its groove with the timing mark "0" of the timing chain cover.

b. Release the ratchet pawl, fully push in the plunger and apply the hook to the pin so that the plunger cannot spring out.
c. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise to provide some slack for the chain on the tensioner side.
NOTICE: Do not turn the pulley counterclockwise.
d. Push the tensioner by hand until it touches the head installation surface, then install the 2 nuts.
e. Tighten the 2 nuts.
Torque: 21 Nm (15 ft. lbs.)
f. Check that the hook of the tensioner is not released.
NOTICE: If the plunger springs out during installation of the chain tensioner, repeat the operation in step (b) before installing the tensioner.
8. SET CHAIN TENSIONER
Turn the crankshaft to the left so that the hook of the chain tensioner is released from the pin of the plunger, causing the plunger to spring out and the slipper to be pushed in to the chain.
HINT: If the plunger does not spring out, press the slipper into the chain tensioner with a screwdriver or your finger so that the hook is released and the plunger springs out.
9. CHECK VALVE TIMING
a. Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the timing mark "0" of the timing chain cover.
NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
b. Check that the timing marks (1 and 2 dots) of the camshaft drive and driven gears are in straight line on the cylinder head surface as shown in the illustration.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) and align the marks as above.
10. CHECK AND ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
