Cylinder Head
Apply new engine oil to the threads and flanges of the cylinder head bolts.

Tighten the cylinder head bolts sequentially in three steps.

NOTE: Perform each step twice.

1st Step Torque 39 Nm (4.0 kgf-m, 29 ft. lbs.)
2nd Step Torque 69 Nm (7.0 kgf-m, 51 ft. lbs.)
3rd Step Torque 98.1 Nm (10.0 kgf-m, 72.3 ft. lbs.)








Use a beam-type torque wrench. When using a preset-type torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly and not to overtighten. If a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it, loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the 1st step.
