Cylinder Head Bolt Torque and Sequence

CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLY/CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS INSTALLATION





1. Before installing the cylinder head bolts, check if length (A) is within limits. If it is outside the limit, replace the bolts.
Limit (A): 96.4 mm (3.8 inches)

2. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the thread section and the washer of the cylinder head bolt.

CAUTION:
^ Always tighten cylinder head bolts at a 90 degree angle.
^ If it is less than 90 degree angle, the bolt will loosen.
^ If it is more than 90 degree angle, remove the head bolt and repeat the procedure from step 1.
