Tightening Torques and Sequences

Cylinder Head Torque and Sequence
Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 39 N-m (4.0 kgf-m, 29 lbf-ft).



After torquing, tighten all cylinder head bolts in two steps (90 ° per step) using the sequence shown. If you are using a new cylinder head bolt, tighten the bolt an extra 90 °.


Head Bolt Reuse/Replace
Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B.
If either diameter is less than 10.6 mm (0.42 in.), replace the cylinder head bolt.
