Removal and InstallationNJEM0024CAUTION:
+When installing sliding parts such as bearings and
pistons, apply engine oil on the sliding surfaces.
+Place removed parts, such as bearings and bearing caps,
in their proper order and direction.
+When installing connecting rod nuts and main bearing cap
bolts, apply new engine oil to threads and seating sur-
faces.
