^ Tools Required
- J 36660-A Torque Angle Meter





1. Install the main bearings and lubricate with engine oil.
2. Install the crankshaft on the journals.

Notice: In order to prevent the possibility of cylinder block or crankshaft bearing cap damage, the crankshaft bearing caps are tapped into the cylinder block cavity using a brass, lead, or a leather mallet before the attaching bolts are installed. Do not use attaching bolts to pull the crankshaft bearing caps into the seats. Failure to use this process may damage a cylinder block or a bearing cap.

3. Install the crankshaft caps. Tap gently into place with a suitable tool.
4. Install the crankshaft cap bolts. Finger tighten the bolts.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.





5. Seat the crankshaft thrust bearing.
^ Tighten the bearing cap bolts to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.), and rotate the bolts 90 degrees, using the J 36660-A.
