1. Clean the cylinder head bolt threads and apply sufficient engine oil to the washer and cylinder head bolts threads.
2. Mount the cylinder head RH onto the cylinder block RH, and tighten all bolts with a torque of 29 N.m (3.0 kgf-m, 21.4 ft-lb) in numerical order as shown in the figure.

3. Tighten all cylinder head bolts further with a torque of 100 N.m (10.2 kgf-m, 73.8 ft-lb) in numerical order as shown in the figure.
   CAUTION: If the bolt makes stick-slip sound during tightening, repeat the procedure from step  1). In that case, the cylinder head gasket RH can be reused. But it is necessary to remove liquid gasket completely from cylinder block RH, cylinder head RH and cylinder head gasket RH and re-apply to them.

8. Using ST2, tighten the cylinder head bolts (4 places) with specified angle in numerical order as shown in the figure.
   NOTE:

   • After tightening, if the liquid gasket is squeezed out onto the seal surface of the chain cover, completely remove any squeezed-out liquid gasket.
   • Attach the magnet used for securing the ST2 (ANGLE GAUGE) to ST1.
