1. Install Crankshaft.
2. Install each main cap and tighten bolts finger tight.








3. Tighten number 1, 3 and 4 main cap bolts to 41 Nm + 1/4 Turn (30 ft. lbs. + 1/4 Turn). Then tighten the #3 tie bolts to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.).
4. Rotate the crankshaft until number 6 piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC).
5. To ensure correct thrust bearing alignment the following procedures must be done:
6. Move crankshaft all the way to the rear of its travel.
7. Then, move crankshaft all the way to the front of its travel.
8. Wedge a appropriate tool between the rear of the cylinder block and rear crankshaft counterweight. This will hold the crankshaft in it's most forward position.
9. Tighten the #2 Thrust Bearing cap bolts to 41 Nm + 1/4 Turn (30 ft. lbs. + 1/4 Turn). Then tighten the #2 tie bolts to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). Remove the holding tool.
10. Install rear crankshaft oil seal retainer.
