INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

.

>>A<< VALVE STEM SEAL INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• The valve stem seal must not be reused.
• Do not damage the tappet wall during assembly.
• Be sure to use a special tool to install the valve stem

seal. Poor installation causes oil loss via valve guides.

• If oil is not applied, the valve stem seal may rise to the

surface after it is press fitted.

1. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to a new valve stem seal.

2. Use special tool MD998737 to press fit the valve stem seal

into the valve guide with the valve stem used as a guide.

.

>>B<< RETAINER LOCK INSTALLATION

Use a special tool MD998735, and MB992089 to compress the
valve spring and to install the retainer lock.

HEAD ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

1. Completely remove the liquid gasket on the upper plane of

the cylinder block and the lower plane of the cylinder head.

CAUTION

Sufficiently check that there is no residual oil on the place
where degreasing is performed. If fingerprints are left, do
not touch it with bare hands after the degreasing, since the
oils from your fingers will harm the seal ability.
2. Degrease the place specified in the illustration.

3. As shown in the illustration, apply a 2.5

± 0.5 mm (0.1 ± 0.02

inch) of sealant to the top face of cylinder block.

Specified sealant:

Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent

4. Install the cylinder head gasket.

NOTE: Check that the center of the liquid gasket is located
toward the cylinder gasket in the position specified in the
illustration.

5. As shown in the illustration, apply a 2.5

± 0.5 mm (0.1 ± 0.02

inch) of sealant to the top face of cylinder head gasket.

Specified sealant:

Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent

6. Install the cylinder head assembly.

>>D<< CYLINDER HEAD BOLT INSTALLATION

1. Install new cylinder head bolts and washers in the following

procedure.
NOTE: Cylinder head bolts and washers must not be
reused.

2. Apply an appropriate amount of engine oil to top and bottom

surfaces of washers and threaded portion of bolts.

3. Install cylinder head bolts to the cylinder head.

NOTE: Bolts and washers are different parts for bolts on the
timing chain side.

4. Tighten cylinder head bolts in several steps to the specified

tightening torque of 35

± 2 N⋅m (26 ± 1 ft-lb) according to the

assembly order.

5. Put a paint mark on all of cylinder head bolt heads and

cylinder head.

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.

6. Tighten the cylinder head 90

° according to the tightening

order.
Tighten it further 90

° and make sure that the paint mark on

the cylinder head bolt is in a straight line with that on the
cylinder head.
