Installing the cylinder head cover
• Do not reuse a gasket or O-ring, always
replace it with a new one.
• When the timing belt is not installed, do
not turn the crankshaft or driven sprock-
ets. Otherwise, the pistons and valves
or intake and exhaust valves could col-
lide with each other and be damaged.

the cylinder head cover (STBD) 2, and
then tighten the cylinder head cover plate
screws 3 to the specified torque.
