After installing crankshaft, main bearing cap, main bearing beam and bearing cap bolts, tighten bearing cap bolts in numerical order as shown.

- Tightening procedure
a) Tighten all bolts to 32 to 38 Nm (3.3 to 3.9 kg-m, 24 to 28 ft. lbs.).
b) Turn all bolts 90 to 95 degrees clockwise with angle wrench.
- Prior to tightening bearing cap bolts, place bearing beam in its proper position by shifting crankshaft in the axial direction.
- After securing bearing cap bolts, make sure crankshaft turns smoothly by hand.
- Lubricate threads and seat surfaces of the bolts with new engine oil.
