10. Apply new engine oil to the threads and under the bolt heads of all cylinder head bolts.






11. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 29 N-m (3.0 kgf-m, 22 lbf-ft) using a beam-type torque wrench. When using a preset-type torque wrench, be sure to torque slowly and do not overtighten. If a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it, loosen the bolt and retighten it from the first step.
