Crankshaft Main Bearing
CRANKSHAFTInstall the crankshaft bearing cap bolts.
The main bearing cap bolts are tightened in 2 progressive steps.
Step 1
Install and uniformly tighten the 10 main bearing cap bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Torque 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf)
Retighten the 10 main bearing cap bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Torque 40 Nm (408 kgf-cm, 30 ft-lbf)
Step 2
Mark the front of the bearing cap bolts with paint.
Retighten the bearing cap bolts 90° in the numerical order shown in the illustration.
Check that the paint mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.
Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.

MAIN BEARING SIZE CODES
If replacing a bearing, select a new one with the same number. If the number of the bearing cannot be determined, calculate the correct bearing number by adding together the numbers imprinted on the cylinder block and crankshaft. Then select a new bearing with the calculated number. There are 4 sizes of standard bearings, marked "1", "2", "3" and "4" accordingly.
EXAMPLE: Cylinder block "3" + Crankshaft "5" = Total number 8 (Use bearing "3")
