Cylinder Head Bolts

Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B.
If either diameter is less than 10.6 mm (0.42 inch), replace the cylinder head bolt.

Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 39 Nm (4.0 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.).

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°.
Intake Manifold

Tighten all intake manifold mounting bolts/nuts in a crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning with the inner bolt.
Rocker Arm Assembly Torque and Sequence

Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
Specified torque:
8 mm bolts: 22 Nm (2.2 kgf-cm, 16 ft. lbs.)
6 mm bolts: 12 Nm (1.2 kgf-cm, 8.7 ft. lbs.)
6mm bolts: (21), (22), (23)
Main Bearing Torque Sequence

Tighten the bearing cap bolts in sequence to 29 Nm (3.0 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.).
Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 56°.

Tighten the 8 mm bolts in sequence to 22 Nm (2.2 kgf-cm, 16 ft. lbs.).
Connecting Rods

Point A-Point B = Difference in Diameter
Difference in Diameter:
Specification: 0 - 0.1 mm (0 - 0.004 inch)

Apply engine oil to the threads of the connecting rod bolts.
Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 20 Nm (2.0 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.).
Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 90°.
Crankshaft Pulley


Crankshaft Pully Bolt to 245 Nm (25,0 kgf.m, 181 lbf.ft.)
Flywheel M/T

Install the special tool, then torque the flywheel mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps.
Oil Pump

Exploded View
Exhaust Manifold and Shield

Tighten the bolts/nuts in a crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning with the inner bolt.
Water Pump

The six bolts securing the water pump.
Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B.
If either diameter is less than 10.6 mm (0.42 inch), replace the cylinder head bolt.
Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 39 Nm (4.0 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.).
