Title: 3UR-FE ENGINE MECHANICAL: CYLINDER HEAD GASKET: INSTALLATION (2008 LX570)

INSTALLATION

1. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT 3UR-FE ENGINE MECHANICAL: ENGINE UNIT: INSPECTION (2008 LX570)+

2. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY 3UR-FE ENGINE MECHANICAL: CYLINDER HEAD: INSPECTION (2008 LX570)+

3. INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY RH

(a) Check the piston protrusions for each cylinder.

(1) Clean the cylinder block with solvent.

(2) Set the piston of the cylinder to be measured to slightly ATDC.


(b) Place the cylinder head gasket on the cylinder block surface with the front face of the Lot No. stamp upward.

NOTICE:

  • Be careful of the installation direction.
  • Make sure that no oil is on the front end (indicated by the arrows) of the cylinder head gasket.

(c) Place the cylinder head on the cylinder block.

HINT:

The cylinder head bolts are tightened in 3 progressive steps.

NOTICE:

  • Ensure that no oil is on the mounting surface of the cylinder head.
  • Gently place the cylinder head in order not to damage the gasket with the bottom part of the head.

(d) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the cylinder head bolts.


(e) Step 1:

(1) Using a 10 mm bi-hexagon wrench, install and uniformly tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts with the plate washers in several steps in the sequence shown in the illustration.

Torque: 36 N·m (367 kgf·cm, 27 ft·lbf)


(f) Step 2:

(1) Mark each cylinder head bolt head with paint as shown in the illustration.

(2) Tighten the cylinder head bolts 90° in the sequence shown in step 1.

(g) Step 3:

(1) Tighten the cylinder head bolts another 90° in the sequence shown in step 1.

(2) Check that the painting marks are now facing rearward.


(h) Uniformly install the 2 bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration.

Torque: 21 N·m (214 kgf·cm, 15 ft·lbf)
