Loosening Sequence:

LOOSENING
- Remove cylinder head bolts in numerical order.
- Loosen cylinder head bolts in two or three steps.

CAUTION: A warped or cracked cylinder head could result from removing in incorrect order.

Tightening Sequence:

TIGHTENING
1. Tighten all bolts to 29 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
2. Tighten all bolts to 78 Nm (58 ft. lbs.).
3. Loosen all bolts completely.
4. Tighten all bolts to 29 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
5. Turn all bolts 80 - 85° clockwise with an angle wrench. If an angle wrench is not available, tighten all bolts to 74 - 83 Nm (54 - 61 ft. lbs.).
