Tightening torques
Apply to lightly oiled nuts and bolts.
Degreased (washed) parts must be oiled prior to assembly.
Cylinder head--tighten in stages
sequence[pic]
Tighten cylinder head bolts in stages
Remove oil and dirt from bolt holes. Oil and dirt left in holes will reduce the pressure on cylinder head gasket.

Bolt threads and washers must however be oiled, otherwise frictional forces will be too large.

Use new bolts. The washers need not be replaced.

Tighten in six stages:
stage 1=30ft/lbs.
stage 2=44ft/lbs.
stage 3=55ft/lbs.
stage 4=tighten 180* Note this should be in one movement without stopping.
stage 5=Run engine till oil temperature is at least 112F.
stage 6=tighten 90* Note this should be in one movement without stopping.

Retorquing of cylinder head bolts
Retorque after 600-1200 miles. The engine should be cold or almost cold.

Tighen each bolt separately and in correct sequence(see pic).

Tighten bolt 90* Note this should be in one movement without stopping.

Bolts should not be slackened first.
