>>A<< CYLINDER HEAD GASKET/CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION



1.
caution The thickness of the original cylinder head gasket is selected according to the protrusion amount of the piston. Therefore, if the cylinder block, piston, connecting rod or crankshaft is replaced, the protrusion amount may be changed. Always select a correct gasket by measuring the protrusion amount. (Refer to GROUP 11F - Cylinder Head and Valves ).
To replace the cylinder head gasket only, select a gasket of correct specification according to the table below.
Notch specification
Fitted thickness mm
A
1.30 ± 0.05
B
1.35 ± 0.05
C
1.40 ± 0.05

2.
caution Do not allow any foreign materials get into the coolant passages, oil passages and cylinder.
Wipe off the sealant and grease on the top surface of the cylinder block and the bottom surface of the cylinder head, and degrease the surface where the sealant is applied.
3.

Apply the sealant to the top surface of the cylinder block as shown.
Specified sealant: ThreeBond 1217G or equivalent
note
  • Install the cylinder head gasket immediately after the application of sealant.
  • Apply the sealant so that its bead is centred at the chamfered cylinder block surface and the sealant groove.
4.Install the cylinder head gasket to the cylinder block.
5.Apply the sealant to the top surface of the cylinder head gasket as shown.
Specified sealant: ThreeBond 1217G or equivalent
note
  • Install the cylinder head assembly immediately after the application of sealant.
  • Apply the sealant so that the centre of its bead reaches the edge of the cylinder head gasket.
6.
caution After the installation, until a sufficient period of time (one hour or more) elapses, do not apply the engine oil or water to the sealant application area or start the engine.
Install the cylinder head assembly.

>>B<< CYLINDER HEAD BOLT ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION


1.Replace the cylinder head bolt assembly with new ones.
2.Apply a small amount of engine oil to the thread of the bolts and to the washers.


3.Use special tool 12.7sq. torx bit socket (MB992916) to tighten the cylinder head bolts by the following procedure (plastic region angular tightening method).
(1) Tighten the cylinder head bolts to the specified torque in the order shown in the figure in two or three steps.
Tightening torque: 50 ± 2 N·m
(2)
caution
  • When the tightening angle is smaller than the specified tightening angle, the appropriate tightening capacity cannot be secured.
  • When the tightening angle is larger than the specified tightening angle, remove the bolt to start from the beginning again according to the procedure.
Apply paint marks to the head of cylinder head bolt and the cylinder head.
(3) Tighten the cylinder head bolt in a 90° according to the tightening order.
(4) Tighten the cylinder head bolt in a 90° according to the tightening order. Check that the paint mark on the cylinder head bolt and the paint mark on the cylinder head are on a linear line.
(5) Loosen the cylinder head bolt fully.
(6) Tighten the cylinder head bolt to the specified torque again in the order shown in the figure.
Tightening torque: 50 ± 2 N·m
(7) Tighten the cylinder head bolt in a 90° according to the tightening order.
(8) Tighten the cylinder head bolt in a 90° according to the tightening order.
(9) Tighten the cylinder head bolt in a 90° according to the tightening order. Check that the paint mark on the cylinder head bolt and the paint mark on the cylinder head are at an angle of 270°.
