Cylinder Head Cover Installation
1. Install the head cover gasket in the groove of the cylinder head cover.
2. Install the cylinder head cover on the cylinder head.

4. Install the fuel return hose (A), and install the fuel feed hose (B) with new washers (C) (2000-2003 models) or with a new O-ring (2004-2005 models).





5. 2000-2004 models: Install the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve.





6. 2005 model: Install the PCV hose.





7. Install the engine cover.
8. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel line. Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
