Tightening torque
Crankcase bolt (M6): 11 N·m (1.1 kgf-m, 8.0 lb-ft)
Crankcase bolt (M8): 26 N·m (2.6 kgf-m, 19.0 lb-
ft)
Crankcase bolt (M10) (Initial): 30 N·m (3.0 kgf-
m, 21.5 lb-ft)
Crankcase bolt (M10) (Final): 50 N·m (5.0 kgf-m,
36.0 lb-ft)
6) Remove the lower crankcase and measure the width
of the compressed plastigauge using the envelope
scale. This measurement should be taken at the
widest part of the compressed plastigauge. If the oil
clearance exceeds the service limit, select the
specified bearings from the bearing selection table.
