NOTE
Connecting rod bearings that have been run
in an engine should NEVER be reused.
Before final assembly it is important to check
the clearance of the new connecting rod
bearings.
1. Install the connecting rod bearing into the connecting
rod cap.
NOTE
The connecting rod is non-directional
therefore the connecting rod bearing lock
tangs can face inboard or outboard.
2. Install the connecting rod end cap on its original
connecting rod and ensure the bearing lock tangs
are aligned on the same side of the rod.
CAUTION
!
Refer to "Fastener Notice: ".
CAUTION
!
Do not lubricate the NEW connecting rod
bolts. The NEW bolts have a pre-applied
graphite lubricant. Applying lubricant to the
connecting rod bolts will effect the clamp
load when the connecting rod bolts are
torqued. Improper clamp load can lead to
component failure and extensive engine
damage.
NOTE
Reuse the old connecting rod bolts ONLY for
measuring the connecting rod bearing
clearance.
3. Install the connecting rod bolts into the connecting
rod cap.
Tightening torque
Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 30 N⋅m (22 lb
ft).
4. Loosen the connecting rod bolts until the torque
reading is zero.
5. Re-tighten the connecting rod bolts.
a. First Pass
Tightening torque
Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 25 N⋅m
(18 lb ft).
b. Final Pass
Tightening torque
Tighten the connecting rod bolts an
additional 110 degrees using the J 45059.
6. Rotate the crankshaft until the crankshaft journal and
the connecting rod to be measured is in the 12
o'clock position.
NOTE
The crankshaft must be secure with no
movement or rotation in order to obtain an
accurate reading.
7. Remove the crankshaft main bolts required to install
the retainer plate J 43690-105.
NOTE
Do not allow the J 43690-105 retainer plate
screw to contact the reluctor ring.
8. Install the J 43690-105 and crankshaft main bolts.
9. Loosen the connecting rod bolts until the torque
reading is zero.
10. Re-tighten the connecting rod bolts.
a. First Pass
Tightening torque
Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 25 N⋅m
(18 lb ft).
b. Final Pass
Tightening torque
Tighten the connecting rod bolts an
additional 110 degrees using the J 45059.
