11. During and after installation, ensure each piston is
positioned properly in the correct cylinder. The
locating arrow on the top of each piston must be
pointing toward the front of the engine.
12. Repeat these procedures for the remaining piston/
connecting rod assemblies using the EN 46111 in
order to rotate the crankshaft.
Connecting Rod Final Assembly Procedure
1. Guide the connecting rod away from the crankshaft
connecting rod journal in order to lubricate the
crankshaft connecting rod bearing journal.
2. Apply a liberal amount of crankshaft prelube GM P/N
1052367 (Canadian P/N 992869) or clean engine oil
GM P/N 12345501 (Canadian P/N 992704) to the
crankshaft connecting rod bearing journal.
3. Guide the connecting rod to the crankshaft
connecting rod journal.
4. 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
!
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
DO NOT reuse the old connecting rod bolts.
5. Install the NEW connecting rod bolts into the
connecting rod cap.
Tightening torque
Tighten the NEW connecting rod bolts to 30 N⋅m
(22 lb ft).
6. Loosen the connecting rod bolts until the torque
reading is zero.
7. 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.
8. During and after installation, ensure each piston is
positioned properly in the correct cylinder. The
locating arrow on the top of each piston must be
pointing toward the front of the engine.
9. Repeat these procedures for the remaining piston/
connecting rod assemblies using the EN 46111 in
order to rotate the crankshaft.
