Cylinder Head
Torque the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 30 N-m (3.0 kgf-m, 22 lbf-ft). After torquing, tighten all cylinder head bolts in two steps (90° per step) if you are using a new cylinder head bolt, tighten the bolt an extra 90°.
Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B.
If either diameter is less than 11.3 mm (0.44 in.), replace the cylinder head bolt.
