note

●

Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.

●

Always use a new cylinder head and manifold gasket.

●

Always use a new cylinder head bolt.

●

The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket. Take care not to bend it.

●

Rotate the crankshaft, set the piston of No.1 cylinder at TDC (top dead center).

●

Clean the gasket mating surfaces of the cylinder head and block to remove oil, dust and scratches.

Select the cylinder head gasket.

(1)

Measure the piston protrusion from the upper cylinder block face on 8 places (A ~ H) at TDC.

Measure on the crankshaft center line considering the piston migration.

(2)

Select the gasket in the table below using the average value of piston protrusions.

Although even the only 1 point is over than the each rank limit, use 1 rank upper gasket than specified in the table below.

Displacement	2.0L/2.2L
Average of piston protrusion	0.410 ~ 0.531 mm (0.0161 ~ 0.0209 in)	0.531 ~ 0.602 mm (0.0209 ~ 0.0237 in)	0.602 ~ 0.672 mm (0.0237 ~ 0.0265 in)
Gasket thickness	1.15 ~ 1.25 mm (0.0453 ~ 0.0492 in)	1.25 ~ 1.35 mm (0.0492 ~ 0.0531 in)	1.35 ~ 1.45 mm (0.0531 ~ 0.0571 in)
Limit of each rank extant	0.581 mm (0.0229 in)	0.652 mm (0.0257 in)	0.722 mm (0.0284 in)
Identification code

Install the cylinder head gasket (A) on the cylinder block.

note

●

Apply sealant on cylinder block top face before assembling cylinder head gaskets and apply sealant on cylinder head gaskets after assembling cylinder head gaskets on cylinder block.

●

Apply sealant (LOCTITE 5902 or equivalent) and assemble the cylinder head within 15 minutes.

●

Seat the cylinder head gasket on the cylinder head firmly.

●

Be careful not to damage the bead and coating of the cylinder head gasket before and after assembling the cylinder head gasket.

Install the cylinder head bolts.

(1)

Do not apply engine oil on the cylinder head bolts.

(2)

Using SST (09221-4A000), install and tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.

Tightening torque :

78.5 N.m (8.0 kgf.m, 57.9 lb-ft) + 120° + 120°

note

Do not reuse the cylinder head bolts.

(3)

Install the cylinder head side bolt (A).

Tightening torque :

30.4 ~ 34.3 N.m (3.1 ~ 3.5 kgf.m, 22.4 ~ 25.3 lb-ft)

Install the hydraulic lash adjuster (HLA) (B) and cam follower (A).

(1)

Until installing HLA shall be held upright so that engine oil in HLA should not spill and assured that dust does not adhere to HLA.

(2)

HLA should be inserted carefully to the cylinder head not to spill engine oil.

If engine oil has spilled out of the lash adjuster, HLA bleeding should be performed according to the below procedure.

HLA bleeding procedure

Stroke the lash adjuster in engine oil by pushing its cap 4 to 5 times while pushing the ball down slightly using a hard steel wire. Be careful not to give the ball a hard push because the ball weighs just several grams.

If installing with engine oil spilling out of the lash adjuster and air in it, it might make an abnormal noise.
