• Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening

method. Whenever the size difference between (d1) and (d2)

exceeds the limit, replace the bolt with a new one. 

• If reduction of diameter appears in a position other than (d2), use it

as (d2) point.

INSTALLATION

1. Install a new cylinder head gasket.
2. Install the cylinder head. Follow the steps below to tighten the

bolts in the numerical order shown.

CAUTION:

• If cylinder head bolts are re-used, check their diameters

before installation. Follow the "Cylinder Head Bolts Diam-

eter" procedure.

a. Apply engine oil to threads and seating surface of the bolts.

b. Measure the tightening angle using Tool.

CAUTION:

Measure the tightening angle using Tool. Do not measure

visually. 

3. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are

lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to 

MA-16, "For North America"

.

• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.

• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel

leakage at the connection points.

• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:

If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide

may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop

after hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oil/fluids including

engine oil and engine coolant.

• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
