2. Tighten bolts (1) through bolts (22) again in a numerical sequence.

   Torque for bolts ... 110 N·m (81 lb ft)

3. Rotate bolts (1) through bolts (22) in a numerical sequence to the following values:

   1. Tighten the bolts of short length "S" to the following value.

      Rotate the bolts in a clockwise direction: ... 150 degrees

   2. Tighten the bolts of medium length "M" to the following value.

      Rotate the bolts in a clockwise direction: ... 180 degrees

   3. Tighten the bolts of long length "L" to the following value.

      Rotate the bolts in a clockwise direction: ... 210 degrees
