Introduction
Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you have read the information and you understand the information.Refer to the following documentation for liner projection and head bolt tightening procedures if the engine is equipped with the 519-7297 Spacer Plate.Safety Section
Do not operate or work on this product unless you have read and understood the instruction and warnings in the relevant Operation and Maintenance Manuals and relevant service literature. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Proper care is your responsibility.
Liner Projection Allowance
Due to the thickness change of the spacer plate, a new specification for allowable cylinder liner projection is published in Table 1.

The new spacer plate requires a new torque procedure for cylinder head bolts. There are two different torque procedures that vary based on the depth of threaded head bolt holes in the block.Tightening Procedure 1 ( 7N-1961 Head Bolt)
Engines that utilize a B series cylinder block require a 7N-1961 Head Bolt ( 216 mm (8.5 inch)).Note: The bolt length is measured from under the bolt head to the end of the bolt shaft.
Illustration 2 g06265576
Use the number in the illustration above to torque the bolts in the order that is required for this procedure.
Note: Apply clean engine oil to the bolt threads and underneath the bolt head before installation.
Torque bolts number 1 through 8 to 30 5 N m (22 4 lb ft).
Torque bolts number 1 through 8 to 145 15 N m (107 11 lb ft).
Retorque bolts number 1 through 8 to 145 15 N m (107 11 lb ft).
