tightened to a snug fit, evenly and in a cross pattern. This is to avoid distortion of the part and/or gas or oil
leakage. Conversely, bolts, nuts, or screws, should all be loosened (in sequence if specified) by about a quarter
of a turn and then removed.
Where there is a tightening sequence specified in this Service Manual, the bolts, nuts, or screws must be
tightened in the order and by the method indicated.
Torque wrench setting figures given in this manual must be observed. The torque tools used must be of accurate
calibration.
Locking devices, where specified, must be fitted. If the efficiency of a locking device is impaired during removal it
must be renewed. This applies particularly to micro-encapsulated fixings which must always be replaced if
disturbed. Where necessary, the text in this manual will indicate where such a fixing is used.
