(Fig. 39).
• Step 1—Tighten bolts 1 thru 4, in sequence, to 8
N·m (72 in. lbs.) torque. Tighten in alternating steps
1.4 N·m (12 in. lbs.) torque at a time.
• Step 2—Tighten bolts 5 thru 12, in sequence, to
8 N·m (72 in. lbs.) torque.
• Step 3—Check that all bolts are tightened to 8
N·m (72 in. lbs.) torque.
• Step 4—Tighten all bolts, in sequence, to 16 N·m
(12 ft. lbs.) torque.
• Step 5—Check that all bolts are tightened to 16
N·m (12 ft. lbs.) torque.
