head assembly.

2. Check in the following procedure before reusing the cylinder 

head bolt.

(1) Measure the outside diameter "A".
(2) Measure the smallest outside diameter "B" within the 

range "X" shown in the illustration.

(3) If the difference of outside diameter of thread exceeds 

the limit, replace the cylinder head bolt.

Limit: 0.1mm (0.0039 inch)

3. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in the order shown 

in the illustration. (in two or three cycles)

Tightening torque: 45 

± 2 N⋅m (33 ± 1 ft-lb)

CAUTION

• If the bolt is turned less than 150 to 154 degrees, proper 

fastening performance may not be achieved. Be sure to 
turn the bolt exactly 150 to 154 degrees.

• If the bolt is overtightened, loosen the bolt completely 

and then retighten it by repeating the tightening proce-
