Crankshaft - Installation

INSTALLATION

1. Clean all sealing and mating surfaces. Be sure that the sealing and mating surfaces are free of oil and debris.

NOTE: If any bearing damage has occurred, remove all debris from the connecting rod bores, crankshaft, and oil galleries. Remove the steel ball from the main oil gallery before cleaning.

2. Inspect the crankshaft and bearings. Replace as necessary.
3. Install the crankshaft bearings and the top half of the crankshaft thrust bearing.
4. Position the crankshaft.
5. Position and install the main bearing caps.
6. Install the lower half of the crankshaft thrust bearing.
7. Measure the main bearing cap bolts. Replace any bolt that is not within specification.
8. Using the correct torque sequence, torque the main bearing caps to 44 Nm (33 lb. ft.).
9. Check the crankshaft end play.
10. The crankshaft should turn freely. If the crankshaft does not turn freely loosen and re-torque the bearing caps.

CAUTION: Replace all of the connecting rods when ever any of the rod cap bolts are loosened or bearing caps are removed

CAUTION: When installing the pistons and connecting rods do not allow the connecting rod to score or mark the crankshaft.

CAUTION: Do not allow the connecting rod to bend or dent the oil jet. Serious engine damage may result from a misaligned oil jet.

11. Install the pistons and connecting rods.
