1. Apply Perfect Sealant No.5, or equivalent, to both sides of the gasket.
2. Position the new cylinder head gaskets onto the cylinder block.
3. Position the cylinder heads onto head gaskets and cylinder block.
4. Starting at top center, tighten all cylinder head bolts, in sequence, to 68 Nm (50 ft. lbs.) torque. Repeat procedure, tighten all cylinder head bolts to 143 Nm (105 ft. lbs.) torque. Repeat procedure to confirm that all bolts are at 143 Nm (105 ft. lbs.) torque.

CAUTION: When tightening the rocker arm bolts, make sure the piston in that cylinder Is NOT at TDC. Contact between the valves and piston could occur.
