CAUTION: The cylinder head bolts must be replaced with new bolts. They are tighten-to-yield designed and cannot be reused.

NOTE: LH and RH cylinder head gaskets are not interchangeable.

LH Cylinder Head

Using a new cylinder head gasket and bolts, install the LH cylinder head and loosely install the bolts.






Tighten the bolts in six stages in the sequence shown.
- Stage 1: Tighten to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
- Stage 2: Rotate 90 degrees.
- Stage 3: Back out a minimum of one full turn (360 degrees).
- Stage 4: Tighten to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
- Stage 5: Rotate 90 degrees.
- Stage 6: Rotate all bolts an additional 90 degrees.

RH Cylinder Head

Using a new cylinder head gasket and bolts, install the RH cylinder head and loosely install the bolts.
