INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT
Using a vernier caliper, measure the minimum diameter of the elongated thread at the measuring point.
| Standard outside diameter |
|---|
| 10.85 to 11.00 mm (0.427 to 0.433 in.) |
| Minimum outside diameter |
|---|
| 10.6 mm (0.417 in.) |
| Measuring point |
|---|
| 90 mm (3.573 in.) for intake side bolt |
| 85 mm (3.376 in.) for exhaust side bolt |
Tech Tips
If a visual check reveals no excessively thin areas, check the center of the bolt (see illustration) and find the area that has the lowest diameter.
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the cylinder head bolt.
INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the contact surfaces of the cylinder block and manifold.
| Standard warpage | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Maximum warpage |
|---|
| 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.) |
If the warpage is greater than the maximum, replace the cylinder head.
Using a dye penetrant, check the intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder surface for cracks.
If cracked, replace the cylinder head.
INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY (for Bank 2)
Check the piston protrusions for each cylinder.
Clean the cylinder block with solvent.
Set the piston of the cylinder to be measured to slightly ATDC.
Place the cylinder head gasket on the cylinder block surface with the front face of the Lot No. stamp upward.
Note
Be careful of the installation direction.
Gently place the cylinder head in order not to damage the gasket with the bottom part of the head.
Place the cylinder head on the cylinder block.
Note
Ensure that no oil is on the mounting surface of the cylinder head.
Tech Tips
The cylinder head bolts are tightened in 3 progressive steps.
Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the cylinder head bolts.
Step 1:
Using a 10 mm bi-hexagon wrench, install and uniformly tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts with the plate washers in several steps, in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Step 2:
Mark the cylinder head bolt head with paint as shown in the illustration.
Tighten the cylinder head bolts another 90° in the sequence shown in step 1.
Step 3:
Tighten the cylinder head bolts by an additional 90° in the sequence shown in step 1.
Check that the painting marks are now facing rearward.
Uniformly install the 2 cylinder head bolts.
INSTALL VALVE STEM CAP
Apply a light coat of engine oil to the valve stem caps.
Install the 16 valve stem caps to the cylinder head.
INSTALL VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY
Be sure to inspect the valve lash adjuster before installing it Click here.
Install the 16 valve lash adjusters to the cylinder head.
Note
Install the lash adjuster at the same place it was removed from.
INSTALL NO. 1 VALVE ROCKER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY
Apply engine oil to the lash adjuster tips and valve stem cap ends.
Make sure that the valve rocker arms are installed as shown in the illustration.
