Ensure that the crankshaft main bearing tabs engage with the grooves in the block and the crankshaft main bearing cap. |
- Clean the bearing surfaces in the cylinder block for the main bearings. Apply clean engine oil on the upper main bearing. Do not put engine oil on the back side of the bearing surfaces. Install the upper main bearing in the cylinder block. Ensure that the tab on the back side of the bearing engages with the groove in the cylinder block.
Note: The number six main bearing is the thrust bearing.
- Put clean engine oil on the journals of the crankshaft bearing. Attach a suitable lifting device onto crankshaft (1). The weight of crankshaft (1) is approximately 62 kg (136 lb). Align the identification marks on the gear train. Carefully install crankshaft (1) in the cylinder block.

- Clean the bearing surface of the main bearing caps. Install the lower main bearing in the crankshaft main bearing caps. Ensure that the tab on the back side of the bearing engages with the groove in the main bearing cap. Apply clean engine oil on the lower main bearing. Do not put engine oil on the back side of the bearing surfaces.
- Install crankshaft main bearing caps with the part numbers toward the right hand side of the cylinder block. Ensure that crankshaft main bearing caps have numbers 1 through 7. The numbers should start at the front of the engine. Place clean engine oil on the bolt threads and the washers.
- Install bolts (2) for main bearing caps (3). Tighten bolts (2) to a torque of 54 ± 7 N·m (40 ± 5 lb ft).
Note: When the bolts for the rear main bearing cap are tightened, slide the main bearing cap as far forward as possible until the cap is against the bolts. Hold the main bearing cap in this position and tighten the bolts.
- Turn bolts (2) for an additional 90 ± 5 degrees (1/4 turn).
- Check the end play of crankshaft (1) with Tooling (A). The end play must be 0.07 mm to 0.32 mm (0.003 inch to 0.013 inch).
