>>B<< CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS INSTALLATION

1. Check that the nominal length of each cylinder head bolt 

meets the limit. If it exceeds the limit, replace the bolts with a 
new one.

Limit (A): 99.4 mm (3.91 inches)

2. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the thread of the bolts 

and to the washers.

3. Use special tool MB991654 to tighten the cylinder head 

bolts in the following procedures.

(1) Tighten the bolts to 78 

± 2 N⋅m (58 ± 1 ft-lb) in the order 

shown.

(2) Loosen the bolts fully in the reverse sequence to that 

shown.

(3) Tighten the bolts to 20 

± 2 N⋅m (15 ± 1 ft-lb) in the order 

shown.

(4) Apply a paint mark to the heads of the cylinder head bolts 

and cylinder head, then tighten 90 degree angle as 
shown.

CAUTION

• The bolt is not tightening sufficiently if the tightening 

angle is less than a 90 degree angle.

• If the tightening angle exceeds the standard specifica-

tion, remove the bolt and start over from step 1.

(5) Tighten in a 90 degree angle as shown in the instructions 

of the figure, then check to see that the paint mark on the 
head of the cylinder head bolts and the paint mark on the 
cylinder head is on a linear line.
