Assembly






NOTE:
- Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
- Before installing the parts, apply new engine oil to all sliding and rotating surfaces.
- Replace all gaskets, O-rings and oil seals with new parts.

CRANKSHAFT BEARING SELECTION









If using a standard bearing, replace it with or having the same number.
If the number of the bearing, cannot be determined, select the correct bearing by adding together the numbers imprinted on the cylinder block and crankshaft, then refer to the table below for the appropriate bearing number.
There are five sizes of the standard bearings. For No.1 and No.5 position bearings, use bearings marked "3" "4" "5" "6" and "7 . For others position bearings, use bearings marked "1", "2", "3", "4" and "5".

(d) Using sequence shown, install and uniformly tighten the 20 main bearing cap nuts in several passes to 27 Nm (275 kg.cm, 20 ft.lb).
NOTE: If any one of the main bearing cap nuts does not meet the torque specification, replace the main bearing cap stud bolt.




(e) Mark the front of the main bearing cap nut with paint.
(f) Tighten the main bearing cap nuts by an additional 90° in the numerical order shown.
(g) Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.
(h) Install a new seal washer to the main bearing cap bolts.
(i) Install and uniformly tighten the 10 main bearing cap bolts to 49 Nm (500 kg.cm, 36 ft.lb).
(j) Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.

5. Check crankshaft thrust clearance as described under Testing and Inspection.




6. Using a suitable piston ring compressor, push the correctly numbered piston and connecting rod assembly into each cylinder with the front mark of the piston facing forward.
NOTE: The shape of the piston varies for the RH and LH banks. The RH piston is marked with "R", the LH piston with "L".

7. Install connecting rod caps as follows:



(a) Match the numbered connecting rod cap with the connecting rod.
(b) Align the pin groove of the connecting rod cap with the pins of the connecting rod, and install the connecting rod cap.




(c) Check that the outside mark of the connecting rod cap is facing in correct direction.

NOTE:
- The connecting rod cap bolts are tightened in two progressive steps.
- If any one of the connecting rod cap bolts is broken or deformed, replace it.

(d) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the connecting rod cap bolts.



(e) Install and alternately tighten the two connecting rod cap bolts in several passes to 25 Nm (250 kg.cm, 18 ft.lb).
NOTE: If any one of the connecting rod cap bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the connecting rod cap bolts.
