No.1 cylinder block journal position with the main bearing
cap. Install the 20.0 mm bearings in the other positions.

Upper bearings have an oil groove and oil holes; lower
bearings do not.
(a) Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the main
bearing cap or cylinder block.
NOTICE:
Install the bearing with the oil hole in the cylinder block.
(b) Install the bearings in the cylinder block and main bearing
caps.
5. INSTALL UPPER THRUST WASHERS
Install the 2 thrust washers under the No.4 main journal position

the heads of the main bearing cap bolts.
(b) Install and uniformly tighten the 14 main bearing cap
bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.

If any one of the main bearing cap bolts does not meet the
torque specification, replace the main bearing cap bolt.
(c) Mark the front of the main bearing cap bolt head with
paint.
(d) Retighten the main bearing cap bolts 90° in the numerical
order shown above.
(e) Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the
front.
(f) Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
9. CHECK CRANKSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying
the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.
