2. Install cylinder head completely with intake and exhaust mani-
folds.
+Apply engine oil to threads and seating surfaces of cylin-
der head bolts before installing them.
+Be sure to install washers between bolts and cylinder
head.
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 ones.
Limit (d1 - d2):
0.15 mm (0.0059 in)
+If reduction of outer diameter appears in a position other than
d2, use it as d2 point.

e.Method A:
Turn all bolts 90 to 95 degrees clockwise with Tool or
suitable angle wrench.
Method B:
If an angle wrench is not available, mark all cylinder head
bolts on the side facing engine front. Then, turn each cyl-
inder head bolt 90 to 95 degrees clockwise.
f.Turn all bolts another 90 to 95 degrees clockwise.
g.Ensure that paint mark on each bolt faces the rear of the
engine. (Method B only)
Do not turn any bolt 180 to 190 degrees clockwise all at once.
