Install the LH cylinder head bolts.
1. Do not apply engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the cylinder head bolts.
2. Install and tighten the cylinder head bolts and plate washers, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
  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:
  
  Step 1: 37.3 - 41.2 N.m (3.8 - 4.2 kgf.m, 27.5 - 30.4 lb.ft)
  
  Step 2: 118 - 122°
