Cylinder Head
Installation
lnstall the cylinder head in the reverse order of removal:
NOTE:
. Always use a new head and manifold gasket.. The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket, Take carenot to bend it.
. Rotate the crankshaft, set the No. 1 piston at TDC (seepage 6-63).
. Do not use the middle cover and lower cover forstorang removed items.. Clean the middle cover and lower cover before instal_lation.
o Replace any washers that are damaged or deteriorated.
1. Install the cylinder head gasket, dowel pins and thehead oil control orifice on the cylinder head.
NOTE: Clean the oil control orifice when installing.

2, Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps. In thefirst step, tighten all bolts in sequence to about 29N.m (3.0 kgf.m, 22 tbf.ftl. ln the final step, tighten inthe same sequence to 83 N.m (8.S kgf.m,6t lbf.ft).
NOTE:
. Apply clean engine oil to the bolt threads andunder the bolt head.. We recommend using a beam-type torquewrench. When using a preset-type torque wrench,be sure to tighten slowly and not to overtighten.. lf a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the 1st step.

Install the intake manifold and tighten the nuts in acflsscross pattern in two or three steps, beginningwith the inner nuts.. Always use a new intake manifold gasket.
Install the exhaust manifold and tighten the newself-locking nuts in a crisscross pattern in two orthree steps. beginning with the inner nuts.. Always use a new exhaust manifold gasket.

5. lnstall the camshafts and camshaft oil seals.
NOTE:
. lnstallthe camshafts with the keyway facing up.
. lnstall the oil seal withthespring side facing in.
. The oil seal housing surface should be dry'
. Set the O-ring and dowel pin in the oil passage
of the No, 3 camshaft holder'

Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08718 - 0001 or 08718 -
0OO3) to the head mating surfaces of the No. 1 and
No. 5 camshaft holders on both the intake and
exhaust side.
NOTE: Clean and dry the cylinder head mating sur-
faces before applying liquid gasket.
- Apply liquid gasket to the shaded areas'
7- lnstall the camshaft holders and camshaft holder
plaIe.
NOTE: The arrows marked on the camshaft holders
should point to the timing belt.
