Tightening Torques

Cylinder Head
Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B.





If either diameter is less than 10.6 mm (0.42 in.), replace the cylinder head bolt.

Tighten the cylinder head bolts 39 Nm (4.0 kgf-m, 29 lbf-ft)





After torqueing, tighten all cylinder head bolts in two steps (90° per step) using a torque angle gauge. If you are using a new cylinder head bolt, tighten the bolt an extra 90°.

Warpage
Service Limit 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
Height
Standard or New 103.95-104.05 mm (4.093-4.096 in.)


Intake Manifold
Install the intake manifold (A) with a new gasket (B), and tighten the bolts/nuts in a crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning with the inner bolt.






Exhaust Manifold





Tighten the bolts/nuts in a crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning with the inner bolt.


Rocker Arm/Camshaft Holder Assembly

Tighten the bolts in sequence to the specified torque.

NOTE: If the engine does not have bolt (21), skip it and continue the torque sequence.
