    10. Torque the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 30 N.m (3.1 Kg-fm, 22 lbf/ft), using a beam-type torque wrench. When using a preset click-type torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly and do not overtighten. If a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it, loosen the bolt and retighten it from the first step.
     
    NOTE:  Be sure to install the 188 mm long head bolt (A) in the location shown.
