Component Tightening Specifications and Sequences

Cylinder Head





Using several steps, uniformly install and tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts and plate washers with a bi-hexagon wrench 10 mm in the sequence shown in the illustration (Procedure "A").
Torque 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.)





Mark the front of the cylinder head bolts with paint.
Retighten the cylinder head bolts 90° in the same sequence as procedure "A".
Check that the paint mark of each bolt is at a 90° angle to the front.

Cylinder Head Set Bolt





Using vernier calipers, measure the length of the cylinder head bolts from the seat to the end.
Standard bolt length 146.8 to 148.2 mm (5.780 to 5.835 inch)
Maximum bolt length 148.5 mm (5.846 inch)
If the bolt length is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder head set bolt.
