Install yoke retainer and torque screws to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.) (Fig. 73).
Install the cylinder heads.
Start and operate engine. Warm up to normal operating temperature.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to valve mechanism, engine must not be run above fast idle until all hydraulic lifters have filled with oil and have become quiet.
