ASSEMBLY OF CYLINDER BLOCK
(See Components on page EM±75)HINT:
wThoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
w Before installing the parts, apply new engine oil to all
sliding and rotating surfaces.
w Replace all gaskets, O±rings and oil seals with new
parts.
NOTICE: Apply a generous amount of oil on the sliding
surface of the b earing, and not on the back of it or on the
surface to which it is installed.
1. INSTALL MAIN BEARINGS HINT: The No. 1 main bearing is different from the rest of the
bearing.
(a) Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the mainbearing cap or cylinder block.
NOTICE: Install the bearing with the oil hole in the cylin-
der block.
(b) Instal the bearings in the cyli nder block and main
bearing caps.
2. INSTALL UPPER THRUST WASHERS Install the thrust washers under the No. 4 main journal posi-
tion of the block with the oil grooves facing outward.

3. PLACE CRANKSHAFT ON CYLINDER BLOCK
4. INSTALL MAIN BEARING CAP AND LOWER THRUSTWASHERS
A. Place main bearing cap and lower thrust washers on cyl- inder block
(a) Install the lower thrust washers on the No. 4 mainbearing with the grooves facing outward.
(b) Install the main bearing caps in numerical order with the arrows facing forward.
B. Install main bearing cap bolts HINT:
wThe main bearing cap bolts are tightened in two
progressive steps (steps (b) and (d)).
w If any of the main bearing bolts break or deform, replace
them.
(a) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under
the heads of the main bearing cap bolts.
(b) First, install and uniformly tighten the 14 main bearing
cap bolts in several passes in the sequence shown.
Torque: 44 N Vm (450 kgf Vcm, 33 ft Vlbf)
If any one of the main bearing cap bolts does not meet the
torque specification, replace the main bearing cap bolt.

numerical order shown.
(e) Check that the painted mark is now at a 905 angle to the
front.
(f) Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
(g) Check the connecting rod thrust clearance. (See step 2 on page EM±77)
7. INSTALL REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER (a) Remove any old packing (FIPG) material and be carefulnot to drop any oil on the contact surfaces of the retainer
and cylinder block.
w Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the
old packing (FIPG) material from the gasket surfaces
and sealing groove.
w Thoroughly clean all components to remove all debris.
w Using a non±residue solvent, clean both sealing
surfaces.
(b) Apply seal packing to the retainer as shown in the illustration.
Seal packing: Part No. 08826±00080 or equivalent
w Install a nozzle that has been cut to a 2±3 mm
(0.08±0.12 in.) opening.
w Parts must be assembled within 3 minutes of
application. Otherwise the material must be removed
and reapplied.
w Immediately remove nozzle from the tube and reinstall
cap.
