Cylinder Head bolts





Clean the bolt threads and the bolt holes in the cylinder block.

CAUTION:
To avoid erroneous tightening of the bolts, clean out the bolt holes sufficiently by blowing with compressed air to eliminate engine coolant etc.

Apply a sufficient coat of engine oil to the washer and bolt thread.
Tighten all bolts to 40 Nm (4.1 kgf-m, 29.5 ft-lb) in alphabetical order.
Tighten all bolts to 95 Nm (9.7 kgf-m, 70.1 ft-lb) in alphabetical order.

CAUTION:
If the bolt makes stick-slip noise (squeaking sound) during tightening, repeat the procedure from step (1). In this case, the cylinder head gasket can be reused.

Loosen all the bolts by 180° in the reverse order of installing, and loosen them further by 180°.
Tighten all bolts to 10 Nm (1.0 kgf-m, 7.4 ft-lb) in alphabetical order.
Tighten all bolts to 30 Nm (3.1 kgf-m, 22.1 ft-lb) in alphabetical order.
Tighten all bolts to 70 Nm (7.1 kgf-m, 51.6 ft-lb) in alphabetical order.
Tighten all bolts by 80 - 90° in alphabetical order.
Tighten all bolts by 40 - 45° in alphabetical order. Caution: Do not exceed 45°
Tighten bolts (A) and (B) by 40 - 45°. Caution: Do not exceed 45°

Tightening torque:
T1: 9.75 Nm (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 ft-lb)
