Cylinder Head Assembly






Cylinder Head

^ Install cylinder head and hand tighten all 10 new cylinder head bolts.
^ Tighten cylinder head in four stages in sequence shown as follows:
Tighten initially with torque wrench:
Stage I 40 Nm
Stage II 60 Nm
Turn further with rigid wrench:
Stage III = 1/4 turn (90°)
Stage IV = 1/4 turn (90°)

Note: Re-torquing the cylinder head after repairs is no longer necessary.

^ After tightening cylinder head, turn camshaft so that cam lobes for No. 1 cylinder point equally upward. Before installing toothed belt, turn crankshaft in direction of engine rotation to TDC.
