TIP
*1: First, tighten the cylinder head bolts to 30 Nm (3.0 m·kgf, 22 ft·lbf) in the proper tightening se-
quence and remove them. Retighten the cylinder head bolts to 20 Nm (2.0 m·kgf, 14 ft·lbf) in the prop-
er tightening sequence, and then tighten the cylinder head bolts further to reach the specified angle
150° in the proper tightening sequence.
TIP
*2: First temporarily tighten nuts to 7 Nm (0.7 m·kgf, 5.1 ft·lbf). Then retighten them to 10 Nm (1.0
m·kgf, 7.2 ft·lbf).
