(11) Remove the rear oil seal retainer(Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/CRANKSHAFT
OIL SEAL RETAINE - REMOVAL).
(12) Remove and discard the crankshaft rear oil
seal.
(13) Remove and discard the front crankshaft oil
seal.
INSTALLATION
(1) Select the proper main bearings(Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/CRANKSHAFT
BEARINGS - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(2) Install main bearings in block and caps, and
lubricate bearings.
(3) Position the crankshaft into the cylinder block.
(4) Install the thrust washers.
NOTE: The main cap crossbolts are torqued after
final torque of the main cap bolts. Always use a
new washer/seal on crossbolts.
(5) Clean and oil all cap bolts. Install all main
bearing caps. Install all cap bolts and alternately
tighten in two steps using the following sequence
(Fig. 8).
• Step 1 – 27 N·m ( 20ft. lbs.) torque.
• Step 2 – Turn main cap bolts an additional 90°.
(6) Install the crossbolts with new washer/gasket.
Fig. 8 MAINCAP TIGHTENING SEQUENCE
1 - Stud Location
Starting with crossbolt A (Fig. 8) torque each cross-
bolt to 28 N·m torque.
(7) Repeat crossbolt torque procedure.
(8) Measure crankshaft end play(Refer to 9 -
REAR ENGINE/ENGINE
BEARINGS - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(9) Position the connecting rods onto the crank-
shaft and install the rod bearing caps(Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/PISTON & CONNECT-
ING ROD - INSTALLATION).
(10) Install timing drive(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
VALVE TIMING/TIMING
SPROCKETS - INSTALLATION).
(11) Install oil pump and pickup(Refer to 9 -
MAIN
ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PUMP - INSTALLA-
TION).
(12) Install the timing chain cover(Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT / CHAIN
COVER(S) - INSTALLATION).
(13) Install the oil pan(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LU-
BRICATION/OIL PAN - INSTALLATION).
(14) Install the rear main seal and retainer.
(15) Install the vibration damper.
(16) Install the engine(Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
INSTALLATION).

STANDARD PROCEDURE - CRANKSHAFT MAIN
BEARING - FITTING
MAIN BEARING JOURNAL DIAMETER
(CRANKSHAFT REMOVED)
Crankshaft removed from the cylinder block.
Clean the oil off the main bearing journal.
Determine the maximum diameter of the journal
with a micrometer. Measure at two locations 90°
apart at each end of the journal.
The maximum allowable taper is 0.008mm (0.0004
inch.) and maximum out of round is 0.005mm (0.0002
inch). Compare the measured diameter with the jour-
nal diameter specification (Main Bearing Fitting
Chart). Select inserts required to obtain the specified
bearing-to-journal clearance.
CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING SELECTION
The main bearings are "select fit" to achieve proper
oil clearances. For main bearing selection, the crank-
shaft counterweight has grade identification marks
stamped into it. These marks are read from left to
right, corresponding with journal number 1, 2, 3, 4
and 5.
NOTE: Service main bearings are coded. These
codes identify what size (grade) the bearing is.
