The bearing caps are not interchangeable and should be marked at removal to insure correct assembly.

The bearing shells must be installed with the tangs (8) inserted into the machined grooves in the rods and caps (9). Install cap with the tangs on the same side as the rod.

Fit all rods on one bank until complete.

Limits of taper or out-of-round on any crankshaft journals should be held to 0.005 mm (0.0001 in.). Bearings are available in standard, 0.025 mm (0.001 in.), and 0.254 mm (0.010 in.) undersizes. Install the bearings in pairs. Do not use a new bearing half with an old bearing half. Do not file the rods or bearing caps.
