Parts Requiring Angular Tightening
- Use an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following engine parts: Cylinder head bolts Connecting rod cap nuts
- Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
- The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
- Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.

Scheme 1: Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
Scheme 2
- Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket from mating surfaces and grooves. Also completely clean any oil stains from these portions.
- Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surfaces. (Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to "RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS ".) Be sure liquid gasket is 3.5 to 4.5 mm (0.138 to 0.177 in) dia. (for oil pan). Be sure liquid gasket is 2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in) dia. (in areas except oil pan).
- Apply liquid gasket to inner surface around hole perimeter area (unless otherwise specified).
- Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
- Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and engine coolant.
