INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
 
 
>>A<< CYLINDER HEAD GASKET/CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
1.
cautionFollow the steps below to degrease the sealant application surface.
  • Before degreasing, make sure that the sealant application surface is free of dust, oil, or foreign materials.
  • Wipe the sealant application surface with a dry paper towel.
  • By using detergent for aluminum, degrease the sealant application surface by spray cleaning.
  • Wipe detergent thoroughly with a dry paper towel. Do not touch the sealant application surface with your fingers, as the fingerprints adhering to the sealant surface affect the sealing.
Wipe off the sealant and grease on the top surface of the cylinder block and the bottom surface of the cylinder head, and degrease the surface where the sealant is applied.
2. Apply the sealant to the top surface of the cylinder block as shown.
Specified sealant: Three bond 1217G or equivalent
3. Install the cylinder head gasket to the cylinder block.
note
  • Install the cylinder head gasket immediately after the application of sealant.
  • When the cylinder head gasket is installed to the cylinder block, check that the sealant is securely applied to the bead line of the cylinder head gasket.
4. Apply the sealant to the top surface of the cylinder head gasket as shown.
Specified sealant: Three bond 1217G or equivalent
5.
cautionAfter the installation, until a sufficient period of time (one hour or more) elapses, do not apply the engine oil or water to the sealant application area or start the engine.
Install the cylinder head assembly.
 

 
 
>>B<< CYLINDER HEAD BOLT AND WASHER ASSEMBLY/CYLINDER HEAD BOLT WASHER/CYLINDER HEAD BOLT INSTALLATION
Install new cylinder head bolts and washers in the following procedure.
1. Apply an appropriate amount of engine oil to top and bottom surfaces of washers and threaded portion of bolts.
2. Install the washer, with its sag facing upward, to the bolts.
3. Install cylinder head bolts to the cylinder head.
4. Tighten cylinder head bolts in several steps to the specified torque according to the assembly order.
Specified torque: 35 ± 2 N·m (26 ± 1 ft-lb)
5. Put a paint mark on all of cylinder head bolt heads and cylinder head.
6.
caution
  • When the tightening angle is smaller than the specified tightening angle, the appropriate tightening capacity cannot be secured.
  • When the tightening angle is larger than the specified tightening angle, remove the bolt to start from the beginning again according to the procedure.
Tighten the cylinder head 90 degrees according to the tightening order.
Tighten it further 90 degrees and make sure that the paint mark on the cylinder head bolt is in a straight line with that on the cylinder head.
 

 
 
>>C<< CAMSHAFT BEARING/CAMSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SPROCKET ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
caution
  • Be careful not to drop the camshaft bearing.
  • When installing the camshaft and camshaft sprocket assembly (exhaust side), be careful not to let the camshaft bearing which is installed to the front cam bearing deviate from its position.
When replacing the camshaft bearing, select a camshaft bearing in relevant size according to the camshaft bearing front cap identification mark in the table below. Identification mark of the camshaft bearing is painted in the position shown in the figure.
