Torque Specifications

Cylinder Head Bolts




Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B.
If either diameter is less than 10.6 mm (0.42 inch), replace the cylinder head bolt.




Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 39 Nm (4.0 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.).




After torquing, tighten all cylinder head bolts in two steps (90° per step).
If you are using a new cylinder head bolt, tighten the bolt an extra 90°.


Intake Manifold




Tighten all intake manifold mounting bolts/nuts in a crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning with the inner bolt.


Rocker Arm Assembly Torque and Sequence




Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
Specified torque:
8 mm bolts: 22 Nm (2.2 kgf-cm, 16 ft. lbs.)
6 mm bolts: 12 Nm (1.2 kgf-cm, 8.7 ft. lbs.)
6mm bolts: (21), (22), (23)


Main Bearing Torque Sequence




Tighten the bearing cap bolts in sequence to 29 Nm (3.0 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.).
Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 56°.




Tighten the 8 mm bolts in sequence to 22 Nm (2.2 kgf-cm, 16 ft. lbs.).


Connecting Rods




Point A-Point B = Difference in Diameter
Difference in Diameter:
Specification: 0 - 0.1 mm (0 - 0.004 inch)




Apply engine oil to the threads of the connecting rod bolts.
Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 20 Nm (2.0 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.).
Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 90°.
