      Text in Illustration
      *a Measurement Point
      Standard diameter
      10.85 to 11.00 mm (0.427 to 0.433 in.)
      Minimum diameter
      10.6 mm (0.417 in.)
      Measurement point (distance from the seat)
      106 mm (4.17 in.)

      Tech Tips

      • If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the cylinder head bolt. Failure to do so may lead to engine damage.

      • If there is any thread deformation, replace the cylinder head bolt with a new one.

  2. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY

    1. Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the contact surfaces where the cylinder head contacts the cylinder block and manifold.

      A011WITE05
      Maximum Warpage
      Item Specified Condition
      Cylinder head lower side 0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)
      Intake manifold side 0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)
      Exhaust manifold side 0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)
      Text in Illustration
      *a Cylinder Head Lower Side
      *b Intake Manifold Side
      *c Exhaust Manifold Side

      If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the cylinder head.

    2. Using a dye penetrant, check the intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder head surface for cracks.

      A011VVZ

      If cracked, replace the cylinder head.
