Assembly (Cont’d)
3. Install crankshaft and main bearing caps and tighten bolts to
the specified torque.
+ Apply new engine oil to the bolt thread and seat surface.
+ Prior to tightening bearing cap bolts, shift crankshaft back
and forth to properly seat the bearing caps.
+ Tighten bearing cap bolts gradually in two or three stages.
Start with center bearing and move outward as shown in
figure.
+ After securing bearing cap bolts, make sure crankshaft
turns smoothly by hand.

4. Measure crankshaft end play.
Crankshaft end play:
Standard
0.060 - 0.260 mm (0.0024 - 0.0102 in)
Limit
0.3 mm (0.012 in)
If beyond the limit, replace thrust bearing with new ones.

5. Install connecting rod bearings in connecting rods and con-
necting rod caps.
+ Confirm that correct bearings are used. Refer to EM-58.
+ Install bearings so that oil hole in connecting rod aligns
with oil hole of bearing.
+ Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and bearing surfaces.

6. Install pistons with connecting rods.
a. Install them into corresponding cylinders with Tool.
+ Make sure connecting rod does not scratch cylinder wall.
+ Make sure connecting rod bolts do not scratch crankshaft
pin journals.
+ Arrange so that front mark on piston head faces engine.
+ Apply new engine oil to piston rings and sliding surface
of piston.

b. Install connecting rod caps.
Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and nut seating surfaces.
Tighten connecting rod cap nuts in the following procedure:
+ Tighten to 13.72 to 15.68 N·m (1.399 to 1.599 kg-m, 10.120
to 11.566 ft-lb).
+ Turn nuts to 35° to 40° degrees clockwise with an angle
wrench. If an angle wrench is not available, tighten nuts to
23 to 28 N·m (2.3 to 2.9 kg-m, 17 to 21 ft-lb).
