NOTE:
. Before installing the head cover gasket, thor-

Apply liquid gasket to the head cover gasket at the
four corners of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Pan No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before applying liquid gasket.
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old
residue.
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.

Installation
lnstall the cylinder head in the reverse order of removal:
NOTE:
. Always use a new head and manifold gasket.. The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket, Take carenot to bend it.
. Rotate the crankshaft, set the No. 1 piston at TDC (seepage 6-63).
. Do not use the middle cover and lower cover forstorang removed items.. Clean the middle cover and lower cover before instal_lation.
o Replace any washers that are damaged or deteriorated.
1. Install the cylinder head gasket, dowel pins and thehead oil control orifice on the cylinder head.
NOTE: Clean the oil control orifice when installing.

2, Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps. In thefirst step, tighten all bolts in sequence to about 29N.m (3.0 kgf.m, 22 tbf.ftl. ln the final step, tighten inthe same sequence to 83 N.m (8.S kgf.m,6t lbf.ft).
NOTE:
. Apply clean engine oil to the bolt threads andunder the bolt head.. We recommend using a beam-type torquewrench. When using a preset-type torque wrench,be sure to tighten slowly and not to overtighten.. lf a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the 1st step.
