Tightening torque
Step 1 (a - h): 3.9 - 5.9 N.m (0.4 - 0.6 kgf.m, 2.9 - 4.3 lb.ft)
Step 2 (1 - 8): 26.5 - 31.4 N.m (2.7 - 3.2 kgf.m, 19.5 - 23.1 lb.ft)
Step 3: Repeat 2nd step twice or more.
NOTE:- When installing, pre-tighten the bolts and nuts in the order shown in the figure and then fully tighten them to the specified torque.
- Cover the cylinder head intake port with a clean woven stuff or vinyl cover to prevent foreign materials from entering.
- Otherwise, engine coolant may enter the intake port from the vent holes of the cylinder head causing problems in the engine combustion chambers.
