CAN, there is a chance that a pulse
signal will be entered in the simulated
vehicle speed line, when the MUT-III is
activated. Therefore, use a MUT-III main

Removal and fitting
Caution
1. If Brembo brake callipers are being used take care that they are not scratched by other components or tools
because there is a chance that the paint might peel off. In addition, if any brake fluid gets on the callipers, it
should be wiped off immediately.
2. Parts marked with * should be removed and then fitted for each cylinder in turn.
Jobs to be completed before removal and after fitting
• Removal and refitting of the undercover (Ref Section 51: Front bumper)
• Checking the tension of the drive belt (only after fitting)
• Draining and refilling of the coolant
• Removal and refitting of the air duct
• Removal and refitting of air pipe C
• Removal and refitting of the timing belt (refer to P11-20)

Removal guidelines
 
A


Detaching the radiator upper hose
Align the indicator marks on the radiator upper hose and the hose
clamp, and then detach the radiator upper hose.
 
B


Removing the camshaft sprockets
Grip the hexagonal part of the camshaft with a wrench, loosen the
mounting bolt, and remove the camshaft sprocket.
 
C


Removing the valve spring retainer lock
Compress the valve spring using the special tool for compressing
valve springs (MD998772), and remove the valve spring retainer
lock.
Caution
When removing the valve spring retainer lock, each cylinder
piston should be in the top dead centre position. If pistons are
not in the top dead centre position, valves could fall into the
cylinders.
Fitting guidelines



A 
Fitting the exhaust valve stem seals and the inlet valve
stem seals
1. Inlet valve stem seals and exhaust valve stem seals can be
distinguished by checking the colour of the rubber parts.
2. Apply a small quantity of engine oil to the valve stem seals.
3. Place the valve stem component into the guides, and then insert
a new valve stem seal into the valve stem guide by using the
special tool for installing valve stem seals.
Caution
(1) Valve stem seals cannot be re-used.
(2) Please use the special tool for installing valve stem seals
(MD998737) because oil could leak if the valve stem seals
are not fitted correctly.

2. Because camshaft bearing caps Nos. 2~5 are the same shape,
check the identification marks on them so that the bearing cap
number and the inlet and exhaust sides are not mistaken. Then
fit them in the direction shown in the diagram.

bearing cap Nos. 2~5).

3. Apply sealant at the 8 places shown in the diagram of the top
view of the cylinder head.
Semi-dry sealant: Three bond 1207D
4. Fit the rear camshaft bearing cap in the direction indicated by
the front mark.
5. In just the same way as for bearing caps Nos. 2~5, check the
identification marks on the front camshaft bearing cap so that
the exhaust side and the inlet side are not mistaken.
6. Tighten the bearing cap mounting bolts gradually, 2~3 turns at a
time, to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 20 ± 1 N•m
7. Check that the rocker arm has been fitted correctly.
Note
Completely wipe away any sealant that has been squeezed out.



G 
Fitting the camshaft oil seal
1. Apply engine oil around the entire circumference of the oil seal
lip.
2. Insert the oil seal using the special tool for installing the
camshaft oil seal (MD998713), as shown in the diagram.

H 
Fitting the camshaft sprocket (inlet side)
1. Apply engine oil to the edges of the camshaft, and to the parts
of the camshaft sprocket which will make contact with the
camshaft.
2. Match up the camshaft dowel pins with the dowel pin holes in
the camshaft sprocket, and fit the camshaft into the camshaft
sprocket.
3. Hold the hexagonal part of the camshaft with a wrench, and
check that the camshaft sprocket cannot be twisted.
Note
This operation is necessary because it is impossible to check by
looking whether the camshaft dowel pins are inserted into the
dowel pin holes in the camshaft sprocket.
4. Apply engine oil to the screw thread and the underside of the
camshaft sprocket mounting bolt, and in the same way as when
the camshaft sprocket was removed, hold the camshaft in place
using a wrench and tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 65 ± 5 N•m



I 
Fitting the camshaft sprocket (exhaust side)
In the same way as when the camshaft sprocket was removed,
hold the hexagonal part of the camshaft with a wrench and
tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 89 ± 9 N•m



J 
Fitting the camshaft position sensor support
1. Remove any sealant from the camshaft position sensor support.
2. As shown in the diagram, apply sealant to the flange of the
camshaft position sensor support, and then fit it to the cylinder
head.
Semi-dry sealant: Three bond 1207F
3. Tighten the mounting bolts for the camshaft position sensor
support to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 14 ± 1 N•m

O 
Fitting the O-ring/oil feeder control valve
Caution
1. Do not re-use O-rings.
2. When fitting O-rings, first wind some non-adhesive tape
(seal tape etc) around the oil channel of the oil feeder
control valve, in order to prevent damage to the O-ring.
If the O-ring touches the oil it could start an oil leak.
1. Apply engine oil to the O-ring on the oil feeder control valve.
2. Fit the oil feeder control valve to the cylinder head.
3. Tighten the mounting bolts for the oil feeder control valve to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 11 ± 1 N•m

Removal guidelines



A 
Removing the cylinder head bolts
Use the special wrench for cylinder head bolts (MB991654) to turn
the bolts 2~3 times in order to loosen them, before removing them
in the numerical order as shown in the diagram.
Fitting guidelines



A 
Fitting the cylinder head gasket
1. Remove the gaskets which have been stuck onto the surface of
the gasket.
Caution
Do not allow any foreign matter to get into the channels for
coolant or oil, or into the cylinder.
2. Fit the cylinder head gasket to the cylinder head, so that the
holes in the cylinder head gasket match up with the holes in the
cylinder head.



B 
Fitting the cylinder head bolts
1. Check that the length of the body of cylinder head bolts is less
than the maximum permitted. If the length is in excess of the
maximum permitted, replace the bolt with a brand new one.
Maximum length (A): 99.4mm
2. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the screw thread of the
bolt, and to the washer.

3. Use the special wrench for cylinder head bolts (MB991654) to
(loosely) tighten the bolts in the following order.
(1) In the order shown in the diagram, tighten the bolts to
78 ± 2 N•m.
(2) In reverse order to that shown in the diagram, completely loosen
the bolts.
(3) In the order shown in the diagram, tighten the bolts to
20 ± 2 N•m.
(4) Make a paint mark on the top of the cylinder head bolt, and on
the cylinder head, and tighten them to 90° as shown in the
diagram.
(5) Tighten the bolts to 90° as shown in the diagram, and check that
the paint mark on the top of the cylinder head bolt and the paint
mark on the cylinder head are in line.
Caution
1) If a bolt is tightened to an angle of less than 90° it has not
been tightened sufficiently.
2) If the angle of tightening exceeds the regulation level,
remove the bolt and start again from procedure number (1).



C 
Fitting the O-ring/fuel high pressure hose
1. Apply a little fresh engine oil to the O-ring.
Caution
Ensure that engine oil does not get inside the delivery pipe.
2. Without damaging the O-ring, twist the fuel high pressure hose
to fit it to the delivery pipe, making sure that it is twisted
smoothly.
3. If the hose cannot be twisted smoothly, there is a possibility that
it may be biting into the O-ring, so remove the fuel high pressure
hose, and check for any damage to the O-ring. If the O-ring is
undamaged, reinsert it into the delivery pipe and check once
more whether the hose can be turned smoothly.
4. Tighten the mounting bolts for the fuel high pressure hose to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 5.0 ± 1.0 N•m.
