      | 3. | 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.

      | 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).
