Fig.2-11. Pressing out the bearing from the crankshaft using tool A.40006
Fit the centre main bearing shells without an oilway into the
bearing recesses. Fit into other cylinder bores the bearing shells
with an oilway, while into the relevant main bearing caps - the
bearing shells without an oilway. Lower the crankshaft into posi-
tion, then stick two thrust washers into the rear bearing recesses
(Fig.2-12).
WARNING. The washers must be fitted so that their oil-
ways face away from the bearings in the block and cap (anti-
friction coat is applied on the washer surface). At the rear of
the rear main bearing there fitted a sintered thrust washer
(yellow), while at the front - a steel-aluminium thrust washer.
Locate the main bearing caps according to the marks on their
outer surface (Fig.2-13). Tighten the cap securing bolts.
Check the crankshaft endfloat. To do this, turn the cylinder
block to have the rear side up and position the dial gauge foot
against the crankshaft flange (Refer to Fig.2-14). Moving the
crankshaft up and down (using screwdrivers, for instance), check
the crankshaft endfloat to be within 0.06-0.26 ÏÏ. If not, adjust
accordingly and replace the old thrust washers with new ones or
fit thicker thrust washers.
Locate the rear oil seal housing gasket on the crankshaft
flange, insert the front clutch housing cover bolts into the respec-
tive bores (Fig.2-15). Place the oil seal housing on tool
41.7853.4011 and slide it to on the crankshaft flange; next secure
it to the cylinder block with the bolts.
Locate front clutch housing cover 6 (Fig.2-10) over two cen-
tering pins (Fig. 2-16). Secure the cover to the rear oil seal hous-
ing with nuts.
