Parts Requiring Angular Tightening
lUse an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following
engine parts:
(1) Cylinder head bolts
(2) Connecting rod cap nuts
lDo not use a torque value for final tightening.
lThe torque values for these parts are for a preliminary step.
lEnsure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with
engine oil.
Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
a. Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket
from mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely
clean any oil from these areas.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
lFor oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 3.5 to 4.5
mm (0.138 to 0.177 in).
lFor areas except oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diam-
eter is 2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in).
c. Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes
(unless otherwise specified).
d. Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
e. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and
engine coolant.

lubricate contacting surfaces with new engine oil.
lApply new engine oil to bolt threads and seat surfaces
when installing camshaft sprockets and crankshaft pul-
ley.
lDo not spill engine coolant on drive belts.

11. Remove upper chain tensioner.
(Push in piston and insert a suitable pin into the pin hole.)
12. Wipe off the links of the timing chain next to the timing marks
on the sprockets. Put paint marks on the timing chain, match-
ing them with the timing marks on the cam sprockets and
idler sprocket.
13. Remove cam sprocket bolts, cam sprockets and upper tim-
ing chain.
IDLER SPROCKET
1. Remove upper timing chain.
Refer to ªRemovalº, ªUpper Timing Chainº, EM-2015.
2. Support lower timing chain by using a suitable tool to avoid
chain tensioner spring from coming out.
lThis step is only to be applied when the lower cover is
not being removed.
3. Remove idler sprocket.
LOWER TIMING CHAIN
1. Drain coolant by removing the cylinder block drain plug and
opening the radiator drain cock. Refer to MA section of the
Service Manual.
2. Drain engine oil from drain plug of oil pan.
3. Remove the following parts.
lAlternator drive belt
lA/C compressor drive belt
lCooling fan with coupling
lRadiator shroud
4. Remove A/C compressor and position it to the side. Remove
the idler pulley and bracket as well.
5. Set No. 1 piston to TDC on its compression stroke.
6. Remove distributor.
7. Remove the crankshaft pulley.

Removal (Cont'd)
EM-2016
CAUTION:
lWhen installing camshafts, chain tensioners, oil seals,
or other sliding parts, lubricate contacting surfaces with
new engine oil.
lApply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces when
installing cylinder head, camshaft sprocket, crankshaft
pulley, and camshaft bracket.
lAttach tags to valve lifters so as not to mix them up.
lBefore removing camshaft and idler sprockets, apply
paint marks to them for retiming.
Removal
1. Drain coolant from radiator and cylinder block. Refer to MA
section (ªChanging Engine Coolantº, ªENGINE MAINTE-
NANCEº).
2. Remove upper timing chain and idler sprocket.
lRefer to ªUPPER TIMING CHAINº (EM-2015) and ªIDLER
SPROCKETº (EM-2016), ªRemovalº, ªTIMING CHAINº.
lFor retiming during cylinder head removal/installation,
apply paint marks to camshaft sprockets, upper timing
chain, lower timing chain and idler sprocket.
3. Remove camshaft brackets and camshafts.
lMark the original positions of these parts for reassem-
bly.
4. Remove cylinder head bolts in numerical order.
lRemoving bolts in incorrect order could result in a
warped or cracked cylinder head.
lLoosen cylinder head bolts in two or three steps.
5. Remove cylinder head and cylinder head gasket.
Installation
1. Tighten cylinder head bolts in numerical order using the fol-
lowing procedure:
a. Tighten all bolts to 29 Nzm (3.0 kg-m, 22 ft-lb).
b. Tighten all bolts to 79 Nzm (8.1 kg-m, 59 ft-lb).

c. Loosen all bolts completely.
d. Tighten all bolts to 25 to 34 Nzm (2.5 to 3.5 kg-m, 18 to 25
ft-lb).
e. Turn all bolts 86 to 91É clockwise. If angle wrench is not
available, mark all cylinder head bolts on the side facing
engine front. Then, turn each cylinder head bolt 86 to 91É
clockwise.
