REPLACEMENT
Valve guide
1. Using the SST(09221- 3F100A), remove the valve guide from the downside of the cylinder head assembly.

2.Reprocess the valve guide hole for the oversized valve guide newly installed.
3. Using the SST(09221- 3F100A/B), insert the valve guide in the upside of the cylinder head assembly. Be aware of
the difference in length between the intake and the exhaust valve guides.
Specification
Intake valve guide: 45.8 ~ 46.2mm(1.8031 ~ 1.8189in.)
Exhaust valve guide: 46.8 ~ 47.2mm(1.8425 ~ 1.8583in.)
4.After installing the valve guides, insert new valves and check the clearance between the valve stems and the valve
guides.
5. After replacing the valve guides, check if they are properly installed with the valve seats. Reprocess valve seats if
necessary.
INSTALLATION
a.Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
b. Always use a new head and manifold gasket.
c. The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket. Take care not to bend it.
d. Rotate the crankshaft to set the No.1 cylinder piston at TDC.
1. After putting the cylinder head gasket on the cylinder block, install the cylinder head.

Ensure the LH/RH classification of the cylinder head gasket when installing.
2. Tighten the cylinder head bolts with the plain washers in several steps as following order.
a.In assembling washers, the marked surface should face upward.
b. In installing the cylinder head bolts, apply engine oil on the thread of the bolts and the surface of the
washers.
Tightening torque
22.6~26.5Nm(2.3~2.7kgf.m, 16.6~19.5lb - ft) + (60° + 2°) + (45° + 2°)
Using the SST(09221- 4A000), tighten the bolts which need to be tightened with the angular tightening method.
3. Install the CVVT assembly and camshaft chain sprocket with the dowel pin in the CVVT installed to the intake
camshaft. Ensure that the pin will not be installed in the hole for oil feeding.

camshaft. Ensure that the pin will not be installed in the hole for oil feeding.
