CYLINDER HEAD TIGHTENING INSTRS. ____________________________ | 3 1 6 | | | | | | 5 2 4 | |____________________________| Step By Step Note: All references below to "sequence" refer to addressing the bolts in the numeric order specified in the simple drawing above. 1. Apply a coat of engine oil to washers and bolt threads. 2. Tighten all bolts in sequence to 22 ft. lbs (29 Nm or 3.0kg-m). 3. Then, tighten all bolts in sequence to 51 ft. lbs (69 Nm or 7.0 kg-m). 4. Back off all bolts by 180° (1/2 turn) in sequence first; and then back them off by 180° (1/2 turn) again. 5. Tighten bolts 1 & 2 to 25 ft. lbs (34 Nm or 3.5 kg-m). 6. Tighten bolts (3), (4), (5) and (6) to 11 ft. lbs (15 Nm or 1.5 kg-m). 7. Tighten all bolts an additional 80-90° (1/4 turn or slightly less) in sequence. 8. CAUTION: Do not tighten bolts more than 90° (1/4 turn) at this time. 9. Further tighten all bolts by 80-90° (1/4 turn or slightly less) in sequence again. 10. CAUTION: Ensure that the total re-tightening angle [in steps 7 and 9] do not exceed a total of 180° (1/2 turn) rotation
