CAUTION: Oil seals must be fitted dry.

Cylinder head gasket selection

NOTE: There are three thicknesses of
cylinder head gasket available and in
order that the correct gasket is fitted, it is

necessary to determine the stand proud
(protrusion) of each piston above the top face of
the cylinder block.

NOTE: Gaskets have either 1, 2 or 3
identification holes and the following
procedure must be followed in order that

the correct gasket is selected.

1. Temporarily assemble pulley to crankshaft, fit

pulley bolt and washer and lightly tighten bolt.

2. Remove timing pin LRT-12-058 - if fitted.

3. Assemble a magnetic base DTI to cylinder

block top face, zero DTI with stylus touching
block top face.

4. Rotate crankshaft in a clockwise direction until

Number 1 piston is at TDC.

5. Position stylus near edge of piston crown,

measure and record Number 1 piston
protrusion.

NOTE: Measurement must be taken at
front and rear of piston.

6. Repeat above procedure for remaining pistons.

7. From readings obtained, determine highest

piston protrusion figure and select the
appropriate cylinder head gasket:
Protrusion 0.10 to 0.25 mm - Select gasket
with one identification hole.
Protrusion 0.25 to 0.40 mm - Select gasket
with two identification holes.
Protrusion 0.40 to 0.55 mm - Select gasket
with three identification holes.

cylinder block.

4. Check that oil feed restrictor in cylinder block is

clear and that restrictor is below block face.

5. Ensure that cylinder head bolt holes in cylinder

block are clean and dry.

6. Using crankshaft pulley bolt, rotate crankshaft

order. DO NOT DROP BOLTS INTO
CYLINDER BLOCK.

12. Using sequence shown, tighten cylinder head

bolts to:
Stage 1 - 30 Nm
Stage 2 - 65 Nm
Stage 3 - Further 90

Stage 4 - Further 90

CAUTION: Ensure that correct tightening
sequence is followed for all four
tightening stages.

12-182 and tighten bolt to 20 Nm then a
further 90

20. Fit fuel pump drive belt gear to camshaft

ensuring that drive pin is located in slot in gear.

bolt to 20 Nm then a further 90

CAUTION: Ensure camshaft does not
rotate as bolts are tightened.

22. Ensure that camshaft gear timing mark is

aligned with pointer on timing belt upper rear
cover.

23. Hold timing pin LRT-12-058 in contact with

flywheel and using assistance, rotate
crankshaft clockwise by means of crankshaft
