Cylinder Head Assembly

INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT

(a) Using a vernier caliper, measure the minimum diameter of the elongated thread at the measuring point.





Standard outside diameter:

10.85 to 11.00 mm (0.4272 to 0.4331 in.)

Minimum outside diameter:

10.70 mm (0.4213 in.)

Measuring point:

103 mm (4.06 in.)

HINT
* If a visual check reveals no excessively thin areas, check the center of the bolt (see illustration) and find the area that has the lowest diameter.
* If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the cylinder head bolt.
