Component Tightening Data

CRANKSHAFT
a. Install the upper bearing with an oil groove on cylinder block.
b. Install the lower bearing to the bearing cap.

NOTICE: Clean the backside of the bearing and the bearing surface of the bearing cap and keep free of oil and fat.

HINT: In case of reusing manufacture parts, measure the clearance on both sides of the bearing and install it so that the difference between measured values will be within the specified bellow.

Specified clearance:
A - B = within 0.8 mm (0.032 inch)
C - D = within 0.4 mm (0.016 inch)





c. Install the 2 thrust washers to the No.3 journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing outward.
d. Apply engine oil to the upper bearing and install the crankshaft on the cylinder block.





e. Examine the front marks and numbers and install the bearing caps on the cylinder block.
f. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads of the bearing cap bolts.





g. Using SST, tighten the bolts in several steps by the specified torque in the sequence shown in the illustration.
SST 09011-38121
Torque: 22 Nm (224 kgf-cm, 16 ft. lbs.)

NOTICE: Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.





h. Mark the front of the bearing cap bolts with paint.
i. Retighten the bearing cap bolts by 90° in the same sequence as step (g).
j. Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.


PISTON SUB-ASSY W/ CONNECTING ROD
a. Apply engine oil to the cylinder walls, the pistons, and the surfaces of connecting rod bearings.
b. Check the position of the piston ring ends.





c. Using a piston ring compressor, push the correctly numbered piston and connecting rod assemblies into each cylinder with the front mark on the piston facing forward.

NOTICE:
^ Clean the backside of the bearing and the bearing surface of the connecting rod cap and keep free of oil and fat.
^ Match the numbered connecting rod cap with the connecting rod.





d. Make sure that the connecting rod and its cap is in correct combination and front mark of the cap is facing correct mounting orientation first, then install the cap to the connecting rod.
e. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads of the connecting rod cap bolts.





f. Using SST, tighten the bolts in several steps by the specified torque.
SST 09205-16010
Torque: 15 Nm (153 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.)





g. Mark the front of the connecting cap bolts with paint.
h. Retighten the cap bolts by 90° as shown.
i. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.





CRANKSHAFT DAMPER SUB-ASSY
a. Align the pin hole of the crankshaft damper with the pin position and install the crankshaft damper.
b. Using SST, install the pulley bolt.
SST 09330-00021, 09213-58012 (91111-50845)
Torque: 128 Nm (1,305 kgf-cm, 95 ft. lbs.)
