Tightening Torque & Sequence

Install main bearing cap bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure as follows:





Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of main bearing cap bolts.
Tighten main bearing cap bolts in several different steps.
Tightening Torque 32.3 - 38.3 Nm (3.3 - 3.9 kg-m, 24 - 28 ft. lbs.)





Turn all bolts another 90 to 95 degrees clockwise [Target: 90 degrees (Angle tightening)].
