  Q: How to install the cylinder head gasket and related components on Scion xD?

  A:

  Place a new gasket onto the cylinder block with its Lot No. stamp directed upward while avoiding contact with oil and maintain gasket orientation until the cylinder head installation process. Place a small amount of engine oil on the bolt threads of the 10 cylinder head bolts before tightening each bolt to 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft-lbf) while using a 10 mm bi-hexagon wrench according to the specified order. Apply paint to identify each bolt front section then tighten bolts an extra 90 degree angle and a following 45 degree angle while verifying the paint marks form a 135 degree angle relative to bolt fronts. The valve lash adjuster assembly needs to stay clean then go into engine oil before using Special Service Tool: 09276-75010 to press the check ball in the plunger until air dissipates through up-and-down movements. The lash adjusters should be installed back in their original positions once the plunger exhibits resistance to movement. Maintenance requires engineers to apply engine oil onto the lash adjuster tip and valve stem cap end before installing the No. 1 valve rocker arms. Clean both No. 1 Camshaft bearings then install them while checking that the gap between the cap border and bearing surface measures below 0.7 mm (0.0276 in.). During the same procedure measure 1.05 to 1.75 mm (0.042 to 0.068 inches) for the No. 2 camshaft bearings. The procedure calls for cleaning of the camshaft journals followed by applying engine oil and installing the No. 2 camshaft and main camshaft which is then followed by installing the bearing cap. Check the marks before tightening the 10 bolts to 16 Nm (163 kgf-cm, 12 ft-lbf). Install the camshaft housing sub-assembly by first placing the valve rocker arm properly and afterward applying continuous seal packing followed by a torque of 27 Nm (275 kgf-cm, 20 ft-lbf) on the 17 bolts. Verity that cam lobes face the correct direction before removing any remaining seal packing from the components.
