Outer Diameter of Cylinder Head Bolts
●Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between d1 and d2
exceeds the limit, replace them with new one.
●If reduction of outer diameter appears in a position other than
d2, use it as d2 point.

2. Follow the steps below to tighten fixing bolts in the order shown
in figure to install cylinder head.
CAUTION:
●If cylinder head bolts are re-used, check their outer diam-
eters before installation. Refer to EM-61, "
Outer Diameter
of Cylinder Head Bolts" .
●In step “c”, loosen bolts in the reverse order of that indi-
cated in figure.
a. Apply new engine oil to threads and seating surface of mounting
bolts.
b. Tighten all bolts to 98.1 N·m (10 kg-m, 72 ft-lb).
c. Completely loosen to 0 N·m (0 kg-m, 0 ft-lb).
d. Tighten all bolts to 34.3 to 44.1 N·m (3.5 to 4.5 kg-m, 26 to 32 ft-lb).
e. Turn all bolts 75° to 80° (target: 75°) degrees clockwise.
