8. Tighten the cylinder head bolts sequentially in
three steps.
NOTE: Perform each step twice.
1st step torque: 39 N·m (4.0 kgf·m, 29 lbf·ft)
2nd step torque: 69 N·m (7.0 kgf·m, 51 lbf·ft)
3rd step torque: 98.1 N·m (10.0 kgf·m, 72.3 lbf·ft)
Use a beam-type torque wrench. When using a
preset-type torque wrench, be sure to tighten
slowly and not to overtighten.
If a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,
loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the first step.
