  6. Place the crankshaft on the cylinder block.
  7. Place the main bearing caps on the cylinder block.
  8. Install the main bearing cap bolts.
    NOTE:
    • The main bearing cap bolts are tightened in 2 progressive steps.
    • If any of the bearing cap bolts in broken or deformed, replace it.
    1. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the bearing cap bolts.
    2. Install and uniformly tighten the 10 bearing cap bolts (A), in several passes, in sequence. See Fig 6.

      Tightening torque: 27.5-31.4 N.m (2.8-3.2 kg-m, 20.3-23.1 lb-ft) + (60°-64°)

    3. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
  9. Check the crankshaft end play.
  10. Install the piston and connecting rod assemblies.
    NOTE: Before installing the piston, apply a coat of engine oil to the ring grooves and cylinder bores.
    1. Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends of the connecting rod bolts.
    2. NOTE: Maintain downward force on the ring compressor to prevent the rings from expanding before entering the cylinder bore.
    3. Install the ring compressor, check that the rings are securely in place, then position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in using the wooden handle of a hammer.
    4. Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and check the connecting rod-to-crank journal alignment before pushing the piston into place.
    5. Apply engine oil to the bolt threads. Install the rod caps with bearings, and tighten the nuts.

      Tightening torque: 49.0-52.0 N.m (5.0-5.3 kg-m, 36.2-38.3 lb-ft)

  15. Install the oil pan.
    1. Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old packing material from the gasket surfaces
      NOTE: Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry before applying liquid gasket.
    2. Apply liquid gasket as an even bead, centered between the edges of the mating surface. Liquid gasket: MS 721-40A or equivalent.
      NOTE:
      • To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket to the inner threads of the bolt holes.
