4. Set the crankshaft to top dead center (TDC). Align
the TDC mark (A) on the crankshaft sprocket with
the pointer (B) on the engine block.
5. Set the camshaft pulley to TDC (see step 2 on page 6-21).
6. Install the cylinder head on the engine block.
7. Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B.
8. If either diameter is less than 10.6 mm (0.42 in.), replace the cylinder head bolt. 9. Apply new engine oil to the threads and under the
bolt heads of all cylinder head bolts.
10. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 39 N·m (4.0 kgf·m, 29 lbf·ft). Use a beam-type
torque wrench. When using a preset click-type
torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly and do not
overtighten. If a bolt makes any noise while you are
torquing it, loosen the bolt and retighten it from the
first step.
11. After torquing, tighten all cylinder head bolts in two steps (90 ° per step) using the sequence shown in
step 10. If you are using a new cylinder head bolt,
tighten the bolt an extra 90 °.
NOTE: Remove the cylinder head bolt if you
tightened it beyond the specified angle, and go
back to step 6 of the procedure. Do not loosen it
back to the specified angle.

Crankshaft Main Bearing Replacement
1. To check the main bearing-to-journal oil clearance,
remove the lower block and the bearing halves
(see page 7-13).
2. Clean each main journal and bearing half with a clean shop towel.
3. Place one strip of plastigage across each main journal.
4. Reinstall the bearings and lower block, then tighten the bolts to 29 N·m (3.0 kgf·m, 22 lbf·ft) 56 ° in
thepropersequence(seestep19onpage7-27).
NOTE: Apply new engine oil to the bolt threads and flanges.
 Do not rotate the crankshaft during inspection.
5. Remove the lower block and the bearings again, and measure the widest part of the plastigage. 6. If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow,
remove the crankshaft, and remove the upper half
of the bearing. Install a new, complete bearing with
the appropriate color code(s), and recheck the
clearance. Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearings
or the caps to adjust clearance.
7. If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the
color listed above or below the current one), and
check again. If the proper clearance cannot be
obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller
bearings, replace the crankshaft, and start over.

3. Use the crank bore codes and crank journal codes
to select the appropriate replacement bearings
from the following table.
NOTE: Color code is on the edge of the bearing.
 When using bearing halves of different colors, it does not matter which color is used in the top or
bottom. 1. Remove the oil pump (see page 8-16).
2. Remove the baffle plates (see step 8 on page 7-13).
3. Remove the connecting rod cap and the bearing
half.
4. Clean the crankshaft rod journal and the bearing half with a clean shop towel.
5. Place plastigage across the rod journal.
6. Reinstall the bearing half and connecting rod cap, and tighten the bolts to 20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m, 14 lbf·ft)90 ° (K20Z2 engine) or 29 N·m (3.0 kgf·m,
22 lbf·ft) 90 ° (K20Z3 engine).
NOTE:  Apply new engine oil to the bolt threads and flanges.
 Do not rotate the crankshaft during inspection.
7. Remove the connecting rod cap and the bearing half, and measure the widest part of the plastigage.

8. If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow,remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new,
complete bearing with the appropriate color
code(s), and recheck the clearance. Do not file,
shim, or scrape the bearings or the caps to adjust
clearance.
9. If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the
color listed above or below the current one), and
check clearance again. If the proper clearance
cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger
or smaller bearing, replace the crankshaft, and start
over. 1. Inspect each connecting rod for cracks and heat
damage.
2. Each rod has a tolerance range from 0 to 0.024 mm (0.0009 in.), in 0.006 mm (0.0002 in.) increments,
depending on the size of its big end bore. It is then
stamped with a number or bar (1, 2, 3, or 4/l, ll, lll,
or llll) indicating the range. You may find any
combination of numbers and bars in any engine.
(Half the number or bar is stamped on the bearing
cap, the other half is on the rod.)
If you cannot read the code because of an
accumulation of oil and varnish, do not scrub it
with a wire brush or scraper. Clean it only with
solvent or detergent.
