Cylinder Head Torque and Sequence

CYLINDER HEAD FLATNESS
Maximum warpage: 0.10 mm (0.0039 inch)
If warpage is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder head.

CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS
Standard outside diameter: 9.810 - 9.960 mm (0.3862 - 0.3921 inch)
Minimum outside diameter: 9.700 mm (0.3819 inch)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the bolt.





INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD

HINT:
- The cylinder head bolts are tightened in 3 progressive steps (steps (c) and (e)).
- If any cylinder head bolt is broken or deformed, replace it.

a. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the cylinder head bolts.
b. Install the plate washer to the cylinder head bolt.
c. Install and uniformly tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts on one side of the cylinder head in several passes in the sequence shown, then do the other side as shown.
Torque: 34 Nm (350 kgf-cm, 25 ft. lbs.)Initial Torque + 90° + 90°

If any of the cylinder head bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the cylinder head bolt.





NOTICE: Do not drop the plate washer for cylinder head bolt into portion A of the cylinder head. If dropped into portion A, the plate washer will pass through the cylinder head and cylinder block into the oil pan.







d. Mark the front of the cylinder head bolt with paint.
e. Retighten the cylinder head bolts by 90° in the numerical order shown.
f. Check Torque and tighten an additional 90°.
g. Check that the painted mark is now at a 180° angle to front.
