Cylinder Head

Cylinder Head





Install cylinder head follow the steps below to tighten cylinder head bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure with cylinder head bolts wrench (commercial service tool).

CAUTION: If cylinder head bolts re-used, check their outer diameters before installation.

Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of cylinder head bolts.
Tighten all cylinder head bolts.
Torque 98.1 Nm (10 kg-m, 72 ft-lb)
Completely loosen all cylinder head bolts.
Torque 0 Nm (0 kg-m, 0 ft-lb)

CAUTION: In step "c", loosen bolts in reverse order of that indicated in the figure.

Tighten all cylinder head bolts.
Torque 39.2 Nm (4.0 kg-m, 29 ft-lb)





Turn all cylinder head bolts 90 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).

CAUTION: Check the tightening angle by using the angle wrench (SST). Avoid judgment by visual inspection without SST.

Check tightening angle indicated on the angle wrench indicator plate.
Turn all cylinder head bolts 90 degrees clockwise again (angle tightening).

Cylinder Head Bolts Outer Diameter





Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening method. Whenever the size difference between "d1" and "d2" exceeds the limit, replace them with new one.
Limit ("d1" - "d2") 0.11 mm (0.0043 in)
If reduction of outer diameter appears in a position other than "d2", use it as "d2" point.

Cylinder Head Distortion

NOTE: When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checking.

Using a scraper, wipe off oil, scale, gasket, sealant and carbon deposits from surface of cylinder head.

CAUTION: Do not allow gasket fragments to enter engine oil or engine coolant passages.





At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head, measure the distortion in six directions.
Limit 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head.
