Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.





Notice: This component uses torque-to-yield bolts. When servicing this component do not reuse the bolts, New torque-to-yield bolts must be installed. Reusing used torque-to-yield bolts will not provide proper bolt torque and clamp load. Failure to install NEW torque-to-yield bolts may lead to engine damage.

3. Tighten the engine left side cylinder head bolts in sequence (1-8).

Tighten

•	Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence (1-8) to 60 N·m (44 lb ft).

•	Use the J 36660-A in order to turn the bolts in sequence (1-8) an additional 95 degrees.

4. Install the engine left side exhaust manifold. Refer to Exhaust Manifold Replacement .
5. Install the engine left side spark plugs. Refer to Spark Plug Replacement .
6. Install the engine left side spark plug wires to the spark plugs. Refer to Spark Plug Wire Harness Replacement .
