Cylinder Head
Installation
Installthe cylinder head in the reverse order of removal:
1. Clean the cylinder head and block surfaces.
2. Clean the oil control orifice. Install the cylinder headgasket, dowel pins and the oil control orifice on thecylinder block. Always use a new cylinder head gas-ket.

Apply clean engine oil to the bolt threads and underthe bolt heads.
4. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps. In thefirst step tighten all bolts, in sequence, to about 29
N.m {3.0 kgf.m,22 lbf.ft); in the finat step, tighten inthe same sequence to 85 N.m (8.7 kgf.m,63 lbf.ft).
Use a beam-type torque wrench. When using a pre-
set-type torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly
and do not overtighten.
lf a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the 1st step.
CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS TOROUE SEOUENCE:
Tighten the intake manifold mounting bolts (see
page 6-21).
Install the exhaust manifold bracket. and tighten thenew self-locking nuts (see page 6-20).

7.Place the rocker arms on the pivots and the valve
stems. Put the rocker arms in their original posi-
lrons.
lnstall the camshafts, then install the oil seals with
the open side (spring) facing in. Make sure that the
keyways on the camshafts are facing up and the No.
1 piston is at TDC.
Clean and dry the cylinder head mating surfaces.
Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08718 - 0001 or 08718 -
0OO3) to the head mating surfaces of the No. 1 and
No. 6 camshaft holders on both the intake and
exhaust side.

holders.
. The arrows marked on the camshaft holders
should point at the timing belt.
Tighten each bolt in two steps to ensure that the
rockers do not bind on the valves.

Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry.
Apply liquid gasket, part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003, to the head cover gasket at the eight corners
of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old
residue.
. After assembly. wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.
Apply liquid gasket tothe shaded areas.
Hold the head cover gasket in the groove by placing
your fingers on the camshaft holder contacting sur-
faces (top of the semicirclesl.
Once the cylinder head cover is on the cylinder
head, slide the cover slightly back and forth to seat
the head cover gasket.
Inspect the cover washers. Replace any washer that
is damaged or dete(iorated.

25. Tighten the nuts in tvvo or three steps. In the final
step, tighten all nuts, in sequence. to 9.8 N.m (1.0
kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.ft).
Check that all tubes, hoses and connectors are
installed correctly.

Clearance
To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance,
remove the main caps and bearing halves.
Clean each main journal and bearing half with a
clean shop towel.
Place a strip of plastigage across each main journal.
NOTE: lf the engine is still in the vehicle when you
bolt the main cap down to check clearance, the
weight of the crankshaft and flywheel will flatten
the plastigage further than just the torque on the
cap bolt, and give you an incorrect reading. For an
accurale reading, support the crank with a jack
under the counterweights and check only one bear-
Ing aI a Irme.
Reinstall the bearings and caps, then torque the
bolts,
1st step:25 N'm (2.5 kgf.m, 18lbf.ft)
Final siep: 76 N'm 17.8 kgl.m, 56 lbf.ftl
NOTE: Do not rotate the crankshaft during inspec-
tron.
Remove the bearing cap again, and measure the
widest part of the plastigage.

No. 3 Journal:
0.030 - 0.0i18 mm (0.0012 - 0.0019 inl
Service Limit: 0.06 mm 10.002 in)
lf the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow,(remove the engine if it's still in the vehicle),
remove the crankshaft, and remove the upper half
of the bearing. Install a new, complete bearing with
the same color code (select the color as shown on
the next page). and recheck the clearance, Do not
file, shim, or scrape the bearings or the caps to
adjust the clearance.
lf the plastjgage shows the clearance is still incor-
rect, try the ne)d larger or smaller bearing {the color
listed above or below that one), and check again. lf
the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using
the appropriate larger or smaller bearings, replace
the crankshaft and start over.

4. lnstall the ring compressor, and check that the bear-ang is securely in place.
5. Position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in usingthe wooden handle of a hammer. Maintain down-ward force on the ring compressor to prevent ringstrom expanding before entering the cylinder bore.6.
