Torque Specifications
























Tighten cylinder head bolts.
Lubricate threads and seat surfaces of the bolts with new engine oil.
Tightening procedure
a. Tighten bolts to 29 Nm (3.0 kg-m, 22 ft. lbs.).
b. Tighten bolts to 93 Nm (9.5 kg-m, 69 ft. lbs.).
c. Loosen bolts completely.
d. Tighten bolts to 25 to 34 Nm (2.5 to 3.5 kg-m, 18 to 25 ft. lbs.).
e. Turn bolts 90 to 95° clockwise.





Install the washer with non-chamfered side facing the cylinder head.






Install and tighten cylinder head sub-bolts to 6.3 - 8.3 Nm (0.64 - 0.85 kg-m, 55.6 - 73.8 inch lbs.)

The bolts indicated by arrow marks in the image have different dimensions [t = 35 mm (1.38 inch)] than the other bolts [t = 23 mm (0.91 inch)]. Make sure bolt length and location correspond.




















Install crankshaft, main bearing caps and beam and tighten bolts to the specified torque.
Lubricate threads and seat surfaces of the bolts with new engine oil.
Prior to tightening bearing cap bolts, place bearing cap in its proper position by shifting in the axial direction.

Tightening procedure (see image above)
1. Tighten bolts [(1) - (20)] to (a).
2. Turn bolts [(1) - (20)] (b) degrees clockwise with angle wrench.
3. Tighten all bolts [(21) - (30)] to (c).

After securing bearing cap bolts, make sure crankshaft turns smoothly by hand.







Connecting rod tightening procedure:
1.Tighten nuts to 14 to 16 Nm (1.4 to 1.6 kg-m, 10 to 12 ft. lbs.).
