Assembly

NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, may cause engine failure.

NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components (engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and piston rings). These inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the engine components will require replacement. REFER to Engine System - General Information.

NOTE: The Wheel Hub Bearing Cup Installer is used to install the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) solenoid seals.

NOTE: Refer to exploded view(s) and any Warnings, Notices, Notes, Materials, Specifications, and Special Tools. Items in the exploded views may not be listed in order of removal.

1. NOTE: This procedure is for selecting bearings using a new crankshaft.
Select the crankshaft main bearings for each crankshaft journal.

1. Read the code on the crankshaft flange.

2. Read the code on the cylinder block face.

3. The first letter after the first asterisk makes up the code for main No. 1 and the next letter for main No. 2. The first letter after the second asterisk makes up the code for main No. 3 and the last letter for main No. 4.






2. Using the chart, choose a bearing for each main. Match the block and crankshaft code with its corresponding column or row, by reading across the "crankshaft" row and down the "block" column.

1. If the block code is *BM*QS* and the crankshaft code is *OL*PO*, Main No. 1 should be built with grade 1 bearings, as determined by the intersection of the B block column and the O crankshaft row on the chart. Mains No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 should all be grade 2.






3. NOTICE: The rod cap installation must keep the same orientation as marked during disassembly or engine damage may occur.
