      • Install thrust bearings with the oil groove (A) facing crankshaft arm (outside).
    3. Install the main bearings paying attention to the direction.
      • Before installing main bearings, apply new engine oil to the bearing surface (inside). Do not apply new engine oil to the back surface, but thoroughly clean it.
      • When installing, align main bearing to the center position of cylinder block and main bearing cap.
      • The difference (A) between main bearing (upper) (1) and main bearing (lower) (3) should be 0.85 mm (0.0335 in) or less when installing.

      A Dowel Pin Hole
      NOTE:

      Dowel pin of crankshaft and signal plate is provided as a set for each.

    4. Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure below again.
    5. Remove dowel pin. (service parts)
      CAUTION:

      Be sure to remove dowel pin.

  5. Install crankshaft to cylinder block.
    • While turning crankshaft by hand, check that it turns smoothly.
  6. Install main bearing caps with the following procedure:
    1. Install main bearing caps referring to the journal No. stamp (A) and front mark (B) as shown in the figure below.
