* - INDICATES SEALANT ON THREADS
The four M8 cylinder head mounting bolts (1) require sealant to be added to them before installing. Failure to do so may cause leaks.
4. Lubricate the cylinder head bolt threads with clean engine oil and install the eight M10 bolts.
6. Tighten the bolts in sequence using the following steps and torque values:1. Step 1: Tighten bolts 1-8, 27 N.M (20 ft. Lbs.).
2. Step 2: Verify that bolts 1-8, all reached 27 N.M (20 ft. Lbs.), By repeating step 1 without loosening the bolts. Tighten bolts 9 thru 12 to 14 N.M (10 ft. Lbs.).
3. Step 3: Tighten bolts 1-8, 90 °.
4. Step 4: Tighten bolts 1-8, 90 °, again. Tighten bolts 9-12, 26 N.M (19 ft. Lbs.)
