- INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Place the cylinder head on the head gasket.
NOTE: Place the cylinder head gently in order to avoid damaging the gasket.
- Install the cylinder head bolts.NOTE: The cylinder head bolts are tightened in 2 successive steps.
- Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the cylinder head set bolts.
- Using several steps, uniformly install and tighten the 10 cylinder head set bolts and plate washers with a 10 mm bi-hexagon wrench in the order shown in the illustration.
Torque: 70 N*m (714 kgf*cm, 52 ft.*lbf)
- Mark the front of the cylinder head bolts with paint.
- Retighten the cylinder head bolts by 90° as shown in the illustration.
- Check that the paint mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.
- Place the cylinder head on the head gasket.
- INSTALL CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
- Put the camshaft timing gear and camshaft together with the straight pin and key groove misaligned, as shown in the illustration.
- Turn the camshaft timing gear as shown in Fig 4 while pushing it gently against the camshaft. Push further at the position where the pin fits into the groove.NOTE: Be sure not to turn the camshaft timing gear to the retard angle side (the right angle).
- Check that there is no clearance between the gear fringe and camshaft.
- Tighten the flange bolt with the camshaft timing gear fixed in place.
Torque: 54 N*m (551 kgf*cm, 40 ft.*lbf)
- Check that the camshaft timing gear can move to the retard angle side (the right direction) and is locked in the most retarded position.
- INSTALL NO. 2 CAMSHAFT TIMING SPROCKET
- Clamp the camshaft in a vise, then install the camshaft timing sprocket with the bolt.
Torque: 54 N*m (551 kgf*cm, 40 ft.*lbf)
NOTE: Do not damage the camshaft.
- Clamp the camshaft in a vise, then install the camshaft timing sprocket with the bolt.
- INSTALL CAMSHAFT
- Apply a light coat of engine oil to the journal portion of the camshaft.
- Place the 2 camshafts on the cylinder head with the No. 1 cam lobes facing the directions shown in the illustration.
- Examine the front marks and numbers, and check that the order is as shown in Fig 7. Then install the bearing caps onto the cylinder head.
- Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the bearing cap bolts.
- Using several steps, uniformly tighten the 20 bearing cap bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Torque:
29.5 N*m (301 kgf*cm, 22 ft.*lbf) for No. 1 and No. 2 bearing cap
9.0 N*m (92 kgf*cm, 80 in.*lbf) for No. 3 bearing cap
NOTE: Install the camshaft with the timing mark of the camshaft timing gear on top.
