Camshaft Removal Note
NOTE:
- The camshaft caps are to be kept ordered for correct reassembly in their original positions.
1. Loosen the camshaft cap bolts in two or three passes in the order shown, and remove them.
Cylinder Head Removal Note

Cylinder Head Installation Note
1. Measure the length of each cylinder head bolt.
- Replace any cylinder head bolts that exceed the maximum length.
Cylinder head bolt length
- Standard: 144.7-145.3 mm {5.697-5.720 in}
- Maximum: 146 mm {5.74 in}
2. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in the order shown with the following 5 steps using the SST (49 D032 316).
Tightening procedure
- 1st step: 3.0-11 Nm {31-112 kgf-cm, 27-97 in-lbf}
- 2nd step: 13-17 Nm {133-173 kgf-cm, 116-150 in-lbf}
- 3rd step: 43-47 Nm {4.4-4.7 kgf-m, 32-34 ft-lbf}
- 4th step: 88°-92°
- 5th step: 88°-92°
Camshaft Installation Note
1. Apply the gear oil (SAE No. 90 or equivalent) to each journal of the cylinder head as shown in the figure.
2. Install the camshaft with No.1 cylinder cam aligned at TDC of compression stroke.
3. Apply the gear oil (SAE No. 90 or equivalent) to each journal of the camshaft as shown in the figure. However, do not apply it to the end journal of the intake camshaft.
4. Carefully apply adhesive agent (Loctite 518 or 962) to the area indicated in the figure so that it does not leak into the sliding part then, apply the gear oil (SAE No. 90 or equivalent) to the journal.
Adhesive agent thickness
- 1.0 mm {0.039 in}
5. Install the camshaft caps and temporarily tighten the camshaft cap bolts evenly in two or three passes, and then tighten the camshaft cap bolts using the following two steps, in the order shown in the figure.
Tightening procedure
- 1st step: 5.0-9.0 Nm {51-91 kgf-cm, 45-79 in-lbf}
- 2nd step: 14-17 Nm {1.5-1.7 kgf-m, 11-12 ft-lbf}
