Torque Specifications







CYLINDER HEAD BOLT REUSE





NOTE: The cylinder head bolts are tightened using a torque plus angle procedure. The bolts must be examined BEFORE reuse. If the threads are necked down the bolts should be replaced.

Necking can be checked by holding a straight edge against the threads. If all the threads do not contact the scale (1), the bolt should be replaced.

CYLINDER HEAD





Tighten the bolts in sequence using the following steps and torque values:
- Step 1: Tighten bolts 1-8, 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.).
- Step 2: Verify that bolts 1-8, all reached 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.), by repeating step-1 without loosening the bolts. Tighten bolts 9 through 12 to 14 Nm (10 ft. lbs.).
- Step 3: Tighten bolts 1-8, 90 degrees.
- Step 4: Tighten bolts 1-8, 90 degrees, again. Tighten bolts 9-12, 26 Nm (19 ft. lbs.)

INTAKE MANIFOLD





- Install the intake manifold retaining bolts and tighten in sequence shown to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.).

CAMSHAFT BEARING CAPS





- Working in 1/2 turn increments, tighten the bearing cap retaining bolts starting with the middle cap working outward.
- Tighten the camshaft bearing cap retaining bolts to 11 Nm (100 in. lbs.).

EXHAUST MANIFOLD

Starting at the center arm and working outward, tighten the bolts and nuts to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.)
