| *1 | CORRECT |
| *2 | INCORRECT |
Install the upper bearing to the cylinder block as shown in the illustration.
Note
Do not apply engine oil to the bearings and the contact surface.
Both sides of the oil groove in the cylinder block should be visible through the oil feed holes in the bearing. The amount visible on each side of the holes should be equal.
Do not allow coolant to come into contact with the bearing inner surface.
If any coolant comes into contact with the bearing inner surface, replace the bearing with a new one.
| *1 | Mark 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 |
Install the lower bearing.
Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the crankshaft bearing cap, and push in the 5 lower bearings.
Note
Do not apply engine oil to the bearings and the contact surface.
Do not allow coolant to come into contact with the bearing inner surface.
If any coolant comes into contact with the bearing inner surface, replace the bearing with a new one.
INSTALL CRANKSHAFT THRUST WASHER SET
Apply engine oil to the thrust washer set.
Install the 4 thrust washers to the No. 3 journal position of the cylinder block and crankshaft bearing cap with the oil grooves facing outward.
INSTALL CRANKSHAFT
Apply engine oil to the upper bearing and lower bearing, then place the crankshaft on the cylinder block.
| *1 | Number Mark |
Confirm the front marks and numbers of the crankshaft bearing caps, and install the crankshaft bearing caps on the cylinder block.
Tech Tips
A number is marked on each crankshaft bearing cap to indicate the installation position.
Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the bearing cap bolts.
Temporarily install the 10 crankshaft bearing cap bolts to the inside positions.
| *1 | 91 mm |
| *2 | Less than 6 mm |
Push the crankshaft bearing cap by hand until the clearance between the crankshaft bearing cap and cylinder block is less than 6 mm (0.236 in.).
| Bolt length |
|---|
| 91 mm (3.58 in.) |
Using a plastic-faced hammer, lightly tap the crankshaft bearing cap to ensure a proper fit.
Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the 10 crankshaft bearing cap bolts.

Uniformly tighten the 20 crankshaft bearing cap bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration.
If a crankshaft bearing cap bolt does not meet the specified torque, replace it.
Step 2:
| *1 | Painted Mark |
| *2 | Front |
Mark the front of the bearing cap bolts with paint.

Using a vernier caliper, measure the distance between the connecting rod's and bearing cap's edges, and each connecting rod bearing's edge.
| Dimension A - B or B - A |
|---|
| 0 to 0.7 mm (0 to 0.0276 in.) |
Note
Do not apply engine oil to the bearings and the contact surface.
Do not allow coolant to come into contact with the bearing inner surface.
If any coolant comes into contact with the bearing inner surface, replace the bearing with a new one.
INSTALL PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD
Apply engine oil to the cylinder walls, the pistons, and the surfaces of the connecting rod bearings.
Position the piston rings so that the ring ends are as shown in the illustration.
Note
Do not align the ring ends.
| *1 | for Bank 1: |
| *2 | Front Mark |
| *3 | for Bank 2: |
