15. Install the exhaust manifold support brace and tighten the three bolts to 30 ft. lbs. (40 Nm).
16. Install the front exhaust pipe using a new gasket. Tighten the nuts to 46 ft. lbs. (62 Nm).
17. Remove the old O-ring from the transmission oil dipstick tube. Coat a new O-ring with automatic transmission fluid, then place it on the tube. Push the dipstick tube into the transmission pan lower tube. Tighten the dipstick tube mounting bolts to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm).
18. Install the cold air inlet and tighten to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm).
19. Install the timing chain.
20. Refill the cooling system to the correct level.
21. Refill the engine with oil to the correct level.
22. Start the engine and check for leaks.

To install:

1. Inspect each head bolt. Using a caliper, measure the thread outside diameter. Standard diameter is 0.4272-0.4331 inch (10.85-11.00mm). Minimum diameter is 0.421 inch (10.7mm).
2. Carefully remove any old silicone gasket material.
3. Apply a continuous 3mm diameter bead of gasket material 08826-00080, or equivalent, to the gasket as shown.

NOTE

The cylinder head must be installed within 3 minutes and the bolts tightened with 15 minutes. Otherwise, the silicone material must be removed and re-applied.

1. Position a new gasket on the block with the lot number facing up.
2. Install the head. Lightly oil each head bolt with clean engine oil. Tighten the bolts, in several even passes, to 27 ft. lbs. (36 Nm).
3. Using a torque angle gauge, tighten each bolt, in sequence, an additional 180 degrees. If an angle gauge is not available, make a paint mark on each bolt head and the cylinder head, and tighten each bolt 180 degrees.
4. Apply a light coat of clean engine oil to the threads and install the 2 front head bolts. Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm).
5. Install the camshafts.

NOTE

The camshaft thrust clearance is very small. The camshaft must be kept level during installation. If the camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the head which receives the thrust may crack or be damaged causing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the following steps must be taken:

1. Turn the crankshaft so that the crankshaft key is at the 9:00 o-clock position.

2. Place the camshafts on the head as shown.

1. Install the bearing caps.
   1. Tighten the cap bolts, in several even passes, in the sequence shown, to 80 inch lbs (9 Nm) for 10mm bolts; 18 ft. lbs. (24 Nm) for 12mm bolts.

2. Install the tensioner. Torque to 14 ft. lbs. (19 Nm).
3. Install the chain aligning the yellow links with the timing marks on the gears.
4. Align the timing marks on the timing gears with the marks on the bearing caps, and install the gear/chain assembly. Torque the bolts to 74 ft. lbs. (100 Nm).
5. Install the water bypass joint. Apply soapy water to the new O-ring and using 2 new gaskets. Torque the 2 bolts and 4 nuts to 80 inch lbs. (9 Nm).
6. Install the intake manifold, using new gaskets. Torque the 10 bolts, in several even passes, to 19 ft. lbs. (26 Nm).
7. Connect the fuel lines.
8. Install the exhaust manifold. Torque to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm). Torque the manifold stay to 30 ft. lbs. (40 Nm).
9. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.
