Tightening Torque and Sequence


Cylinder Head Torque and Sequence





Install the cylinder head and lubricate the cylinder head bolts with clean engine oil. Install the cylinder head bolts and tighten the bolts in the sequence shown in five stages.
Stage 1: Tighten the bolts to 5 Nm (0.51 kgf-cm, 4 ft. lbs.)
Stage 2: Tighten the bolts to 15 Nm (1.5 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.)
Stage 3: Tighten the bolts to 45 Nm (4.59 kgf-cm, 33 ft. lbs.)
Stage 4: Turn the bolts 90 degrees (1/4 Turn)
Stage 5: Turn the bolts an additional 90 degrees (1/4 Turn)

Head Bolt Reuse/Replace
Note:
^ Reuse cylinder head bolts

Intake Manifold Torque and Sequence





Camshaft Bearing Torque and Sequence





Install the camshafts and bearing caps. Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown in three stages.
