Lower Block to Upper Block Tightening

CAUTION:
Lower cylinder block retaining bolt numbers 1 through 16 must be replaced with new bolts. They are torque-to-yield designed and cannot be reused.

NOTE:
Bolt Lubrication
Do not lubricate lower cylinder block to upper cylinder block retaining bolts.
Sealer Curing
Tighten all lower cylinder block-to-upper cylinder block retaining bolts within six minutes of installing lower cylinder block onto upper cylinder block.

Tighten retaining bolts in sequence, as follows:
Step 1: Tighten fasteners 1 through 8 to 22-28 Nm (16-21 ft. lbs.).
Step 3: Tighten fasteners 9 through 16 to 37-43 Nm (27-32 ft. lbs.).
Step 4: Rotate fasteners 1 through 16 an additional 85-95°.
Step 5: Tighten fasteners 17 through 22 to 20-30 Nm (15-22 ft. lbs.).
Step 6: Verify crankshaft rotates freely and does not bind.
