Assembly
CRANKSHAFT INSTALLATIONNOTE: Before installing the crankshaft, apply a coat of engine oil to the main bearings and rod bearings.
1. Insert bearing halves in the engine block and connecting rods.
2. Hold the crankshaft so rod journals for cylinders No.2 and No.3 are straight down.
3. Lower the crankshaft into the block, seating the rod journals into connecting rods No.2 and No.3. and install the rod caps and nuts finger-tight.
4. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise, seat journals into connecting rods No.1 and No.4, and install the rod caps and nuts finger-tight.
NOTE: Install caps so the bearing recess is on the same side as the recess in the rod.
5. Check rod bearing clearance with plastigage then torque the capnuts to 32 N.m (3.2 kg-m, 23 lb-ft)
NOTE: Reference numbers on connecting rod are for big-end bore tolerance and do not indicate the position of piston in the engine.
6. Install the thrust washers on the No.4 journal. Oil the thrust washer surfaces.
Main Bolt Torque Sequence:
7. Install the main bearing caps.
Check clearance with plastigage then tighten the bearing cap bolts in 2 steps.
First step: 25 N.m (12.5 kg-m, 18 lb-ft)
Second step for D16Z6: 52 N.m (15.2 kg-m, 38 lb-ft)
Second step for all except D16Z6: 45 N.m (4.5 kg-m. 33 lb-ft)
NOTE: Coat the thrust washer surfaces and bolt threads with oil.
8. Apply liquid gasket to the block mating surface of the right side cover, then install it on the engine block.
NOTE:
- Use liquid gasket Part No. 08718-0001.
- Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry before applying liquid gasket.
- Apply liquid gasket by starting with an even band, centered between edges of the mating surface.
- To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket to the inner threads of the bolt holes.
- Do not apply liquid gasket to O-ring grooves.
- Do not install the parts if 20 minutes or more have elapsed since applying liquid gasket. Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old residue.
- After assembly. wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
- Apply a light coat of oil to the crankshaft and to the lip of seal.
- Use a new O-ring and apply oil when installing it.
9. Apply liquid gasket to the block mating surface of the oil pump, then install it on the engine block. Do not apply liquid gasket to O-ring grooves.
NOTE: Apply a light coat of oil to the crankshaft and to the lip of seal. Use new O-rings and apply oil when installing them.
10. Install the oil screen
11. Install the oil pan gasket and the oil pan.
NOTE: Use a new oil pan gasket.
12. Tighten the oil pan bolts and nuts as shown.
