19. Install A/C compressor (2) (Refer to 24 - HEAT-
ING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/A/C
COMPRESSOR - INSTALLATION).
20. Install both breathers (1). Connect tube to both
crankcase breathers.
21. Connect throttle and speed control cables.
22. Install throttle body resonator assembly and air
inlet hose. Tighten clamps 4 Nꞏm (35 in. lbs.).
23. Raise vehicle.
24. Install transmission to engine mounting bolts.
Tighten the bolts to 41 Nꞏm (30 ft. lbs.).
25. Install torque converter bolts (Automatic Transmis-
sion Only).
26. Connect crankshaft position sensor (1).
27.4X4 vehiclesPosition and install the axle isolator
bracket onto the axle, transmission and engine
block. Tighten bolts to specification (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS).

6. Remove the camshaft position sensor (1).
NOTE: When gripping the camshaft, place the pli-
ers (1) on the tube portion of the camshaft only.
Do not grip the lobes or the sprocket areas.
7. Hold the camshaft with adjustable pliers (1) while
removing the camshaft sprocket bolt (2)and
sprocket (3).
8. Using the pliers (1), gently allow the camshaft to
rotate 45° counter-clockwise until the camshaft is in
the neutral position (no valve load).

11. Install the camshaft position sensor.
12. Install the cylinder head cover (1) (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD
COVER(S) - INSTALLATION).

CRANKSHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft is constructed of nodular cast iron. The crankshaft is a crosshaped four throw design with eight
counterweights for balancing purposes. The crankshaft is supported by five select fit main bearings with the number
three serving as the thrust washer location. The main journals of the crankshaft are cross drilled to improve rod
bearing lubrication. The number eight counterweight has provisions for crankshaft position sensor target wheel
mounting. The select fit main bearing markings are located on the rear sideof the target wheel. The crankshaft oil
seals are one piece design. The front oil seal is retained in the timing chain cover, and the rear seal is pressed in
to a bore formed by the cylinder block and the bedplate assembly.
REMOVAL
NOTE: To remove the crankshaft from the engine, the engine must be removed from the vehicle.
1. Remove the engine. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - REMOVAL).
2. Remove the engine oil pump. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PUMP - REMOVAL).
CAUTION: DO NOT pry on the oil pan gasket when removing the oil pan, The oil pan gasket is mounted to
the cylinder block in three locations and will remain attached to block when removing oil pan. Gasket can
not be removed with oil pan.
3. Remove oil pan. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PAN - REMOVAL).
4. Remove the oil pump pickup tube and oil pan gasket /windage tray.
5. Remove the bedplate mounting bolts. Note the location of the three stud bolts for installation.
6. Remove the connecting rods from the crankshaft.
CAUTION: The bedplate to cylinder block mating
surface is a critical sealing surface. Do not pry on
or damage this surface in anyway.
NOTE: The bedplate contains the lower main bear-
ing halves. Use care when handling bedplate as
not to drop or damage bearing halves. Installing
main bearing halves in the wrong position will
cause sever damage to the crankshaft.
NOTE: The bedplate has pry points cast into it.
Use these points only. The pry points are on both
the left and right sides, only the left side is shown.
7. Carefully pry on the pry points to loosen the bed-
plate then remove the bedplate.
CAUTION: When removing the crankshaft, use
care not to damage bearing surfaces on the crankshaft.
8. Remove the crankshaft.

BEARINGS - CRANKSHAFT MAIN
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING - FITTING
MAIN BEARING JOURNAL DIAMETER (CRANKSHAFT REMOVED)
Crankshaft removed from the cylinder block.
Clean the oil off the main bearing journal.
Determine the maximum diameter of the journal with a micrometer. Measure at two locations 90° apart at each end
of the journal.
The maximum allowable taper is 0.008mm (0.0004 inch.) and maximum out of round is 0.005mm (0.002 inch). Com-
pare the measured diameter with the journal diameter specification (MainBearing Fitting Chart). Select inserts
required to obtain the specified bearing-to-journal clearance.
CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING SELECTION
The main bearings are “select fit” to achieve proper oil
clearances. For main bearing selection, the crankshaft
position sensor target wheel has grade identification
marks stamped into it (3). These marks are read from
left to right, corresponding with journal number 1, 2, 3,
4 and 5. The crankshaft position sensor target wheel
(2) is mounted to the number 8 counter weight (1) on
the crankshaft.
NOTE: Service main bearings are coded. These codes identify what size (grade) the bearing is.
