LH Cylinder Head

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE:

Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
Always use a new head and manifold gasket.
Always use new cylinder head bolts. Cylinder head bolts are torque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.
The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket. Take care not to bend it.
Rotate the crankshaft, set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC).

Install the LH cylinder head.

The sealant locations on cylinder head and cylinder block must be free of engine oil and ETC.

Apply sealant on cylinder block top face before assembling cylinder head gaskets.

The assembly must be done within 5 minutes after the sealant is applied.

NOTE:

Refer to the image below to apply the sealant.

Bead Width:

2.0 - 3.0 mm (0.078 - 0.118 in.)

Sealant Locations:

1.0 - 1.5 mm (0.039 - 0.059 in.) from block surface

Install the LH cylinder head bolts.

Do not apply engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the cylinder head bolts.

Using SST (09221-4A000), When installing the cylinder head bolts, do not completely tighten the bolts at a time. Tighten them in two or three steps according to the sequence displayed below.

NOTE:

Always use new cylinder head bolts. Cylinder head bolts are torque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.

Tightening Torque:

Head bolt:

37.3 - 41.2 N.m (3.8 - 4.2 kgf.m, 27.5 - 30.4 lb-ft) + (118 - 122°) + (88 - 92°)
