If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the cap bolt.
17. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT





a. Inspect for circle runout.

25. INSTALL CRANKSHAFT THRUST WASHER SET





a. Install the 2 thrust washers under the No. 3 journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing outward.





b. Install the 2 thrust washers on the No. 3 bearing cap with the grooves facing outward.





26. INSTALL CRANKSHAFT
a. Place the crankshaft on the cylinder block.
b. Install the 5 crankshaft bearing caps in their proper locations.
