Remove the 8 mm bolts.

Remove the bearing cap bolts. To prevent warpage, loosen the bolts in sequence 1/3 turn at a time; repeat the sequence until all bolts are loosened.

Remove the lower block and the bearings. Keep all the bearings in order.

Hold the crankshaft so rod journal No. 2 and rod journal No. 3 are straight up, then lower the crankshaft into the engine block.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the journals and the CKP pulse plate.

Apply new engine oil to the thrust washer surfaces. Install the thrust washers in the No. 4 journal of the engine block.

Apply liquid gasket to the engine block mating surface of the lower block and to the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes.

Put the lower block on the engine block.

Apply new engine oil to the threads of the bearing cap bolts. Torque the bearing cap bolts in sequence, to 35 N·m (3.6 kgf·m, 26 lbf·ft).

Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 41 °.

Torque the 8 mm bolts in sequence to 24 N·m (2.2 kgf·m, 16 lbf·ft).

NOTE:

Apply new engine oil to the threads of the connecting rod bolts.

Seat the rod journals into connecting rod No. 1 and connecting rod No. 4. Line up the mark (A) on the connecting rod and the bearing cap.

Install the bearing caps and the bolts finger-tight.

Rotate the crankshaft clockwise, and seat the journals into connecting rod No. 2 and connecting rod No. 3. Line up the mark on the connecting rod and the bearing cap.

Install the bearing caps and the bolts finger-tight.

Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 5.0 N·m (0.51 kgf·m, 3.7 lbf·ft).

Torque the connecting rod bolts to 41 N·m (4.2 kgf·m, 30 lbf·ft).

Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 120 °.

NOTE: Remove the connecting rod bolt if you tightened it beyond the specified angle, inspect the connecting rod bolts. Do not loosen it back to the specified angle.

Clean the crankshaft oil passages with pipe cleaners or a suitable brush.

Check the keyway slot and the threaded holes for damage.

Measure the out-of-round at the middle of each rod and the main journal in two places. The difference between measurements on each journal must not be more than the service limit.

Measure the taper at the edges of each rod and the main journal. The difference between measurements on each journal must not be more than the service limit.

Place the V-blocks on a flat surface.

Check the total runout with the crankshaft supported on V-blocks.

Measure the runout on all of the main journals. Rotate the crankshaft two complete revolutions. The difference between measurements on each journal must not be more than the service limit.
