       | 
      
       Loosen bolt 1 and retighten it. Repeat this procedure in turn as illustrated.
       
        Tightening torque: 40 Nm (30 lbf ft).

       4.
       | 
      
       Tighten bolt 1 to
       
        60 Nm (44 lbf ft).
       
       Repeat this procedure in turn on all the other bolts, see illustration.
        
        
       |

       5.
       | 
      
       Tighten bolt 1 a further
       
        90°.
       
       Repeat this procedure in turn on all the other bolts, see illustration.
        
        
       |

       6.
       | 
      
       Tighten the timing cover screws.
       
        Tightening torque: 22 Nm (16 lbf ft)
       
        
        
       | 
     
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 
       7.
       | 
      
       
        Check the camshaft cover seal and replace if necessary.
       
        
        
       | 
     
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 
       8.
       | 
      
       Fit the camshaft cover and start tightening bolts 1 and 2 by the recess, see illustration. Continue with the other bolts in turn.
       
        Tightening torque: 15 Nm (11 lbf ft).

      | 
       9.
       | 
      
       Fit the ignition discharge module or cover on the spark plugs.
       
        Tightening torque: 11 Nm (8 lbf ft).
