Tightening Sequence
Note: Engines that are equipped with a compression brake will have three head bolt studs. Install the head bolt studs in positions (2), (8), and (10). Tighten the head bolt studs in sequence with the cylinder head bolts.
Tighten the cylinder head bolts according to the following procedure:
Tighten bolt (1) through bolt (26) in a numerical sequence to a torque of 160 15 N m (120 11 lb ft).
Tighten bolt (1) through bolt (26) again in a numerical sequence to a torque of 160 15 N m (120 11 lb ft).
Place an index mark on each bolt head. Turn bolt (1) through bolt (26) in a numerical sequence for an additional 90 degrees (1/4 turn).
Loosen bolt (1) through bolt (26) until the washers are loose under the bolt heads.
Tighten bolt (1) through bolt (26) in a numerical sequence to a torque of 160 15 N m (120 11 lb ft).
Tighten bolt (1) through bolt (26) again in a numerical sequence to a torque of 160 15 N m (120 11 lb ft).
Place an index mark on each bolt head. Turn bolt (1) through bolt (26) in a numerical sequence for an additional 90 degrees (1/4 turn).
Tighten bolt (27) through bolt (33) in a numerical sequence to a torque of 28 7 N m (20 5 lb ft).
Install the head bolt spacers on the three head bolt studs. Tighten the three head bolt studs to a torque of 100 20 N m (75 15 lb ft).
