method, tighten according to the following torque val-
ues:
• Step 1: All to 61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.)
• Step 2: All to 88 N·m (65 ft. lbs.)
• Step 3: All (again) to 88 N·m (65 ft. lbs.)
• Step 4: + 90° Turn Do not use a torque
wrench for this step.
(6) Bolt torque after 90° turn should be over 122
N·m (90 ft. lbs.) in the tightening direction. If not,
replace the bolt.
(7) Clean right rear timing belt cover O-ring seal-
ing surfaces and grooves (Fig. 11). Lubricate new
O-rings with Mopart Dielectric Grease or equivalent
to facilitate assembly.
(8) Install rear timing belt covers (Fig. 10) and
(Fig. 11). Tighten bolts to specified torque:
• M10—54 N·m (40 ft. lbs.)
• M8—28 N·m (20 ft. lbs.)
• M6—12 N·m (105 in. lbs.)
(9) Install camshaft sprockets and timing belt.

(12) Install upper and lower intake manifold.
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/MANIFOLDS/INTAKE MANI-
FOLD - INSTALLATION)
(13) Connect catalytic converter to exhaust mani-
fold using a new V-band clamp(s). Tighten clamp to
10 N·m (100 in. lbs.).
(14) Fill cooling system. (Refer to 7 - COOLING -
STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(15) Connect negative cable to remote jumper ter-
