Tightening Fasteners
Use the correct amount of torque when you tighten fasteners on the engine. Applying
excessive torque may damage the fastener or component and not enough torque may
cause a leak or component failure.
he tightening torque in the Standard Torque Chart should be applied only to the
bolts with a “7” head (JIS strength classification: 7T). Apply 60% torque to bolts
that are not listed. Apply 80% torque when tightened to aluminum alloy.
When lock adhesive is applied, decide separately.
