(c) Re-check all bolts to 105 N·m (77 ft. lbs.)
(d) Tighten all bolts an additional ¼ turn (90°)
(4) Connect fuel return line at rear of head (Fig.
24). Install both sealing washers and torque banjo
bolt to 24 N·m (18 ft. lbs.).
(5) Install push rods into their original locations (Fig.
31). Verify that they are seated in the tappets.
(6) Lubricate valve stem tips and install the cross-
heads in their original locations.
(7) Lubricate the rocker arms and pedestals and
install them in their original locations (Fig. 32). Install
the bolts and torque them to 36 N·m (27 ft. lbs.).
(8) Verify that the valve lash settings are main-
tained (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/IN-
