2. Install crankshaft and main bearing caps and tighten bolts to
the speci®ed torque.
+Apply new engine oil to the bolt thread and seat surface.
+Prior to tightening bearing cap bolts, shift crankshaft back
and forth to properly seat the bearing cap.
+Tighten bearing cap bolts gradually in two or three steps.
Start with center bearing and move outward as shown in
®gure.
+After securing bearing cap bolts, make sure crankshaft
turns smoothly by hand.
3. Measure crankshaft end play.
Crankshaft end play:
Standard
0.050 - 0.18 mm (0.0020 - 0.0071 in)
Limit
0.30 mm (0.0118 in)
If beyond the limit, replace thrust bearing with a new one.
4. Install connecting rod bearings in connecting rods and connect-
ing rod caps.
+Con®rm that correct bearings are selected. Refer to ``Con-
necting rod bearing (Big end)'', EM-52.
+Install bearings so that oil hole in connecting rod aligns
with oil hole of bearing.
+Apply new engine oil to bearing surfaces, bolt threads and
seating surfaces.
5. Install pistons with connecting rods.
a. Install them into corresponding cylinders with Tool.
+Make sure connecting rod does not scratch cylinder wall.
+Make sure connecting rod bolts do not scratch crankshaft
pin journals.
+Arrange so that front mark on piston head faces toward
front of engine.
+Apply new engine oil to piston rings and sliding surface of
piston.
b. Install connecting rod caps.
+Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and nut seating sur-
faces.
Tighten connecting rod cap nuts using the following procedure.
(1) Tighten to 14 to 16 Nzm
(1.4 to 1.6 kg-m, 10 to 12 ft-lb).
(2) Turn nuts 60 to 65É clockwise with an angle wrench. If
an angle wrench is not available, tighten nuts to 37 to
45 Nzm (3.8 to 4.6 kg-m, 27 to 33 ft-lb).

Precautions
+When installing rubber parts, ®nal tightening must be car-
ried out under unladen condition* with tires on ground.
* Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
+Use ¯are nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tubes.
+After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment and adjust if necessary.
+Always torque brake lines when installing.

PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION
FA-1

Front Axle and Front Suspension Parts
Check front axle and front suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear and other damage.
+Shake each front wheel to check for excessive play.
+Make sure that cotter pin is inserted.
+Retighten all axle and suspensions nuts and bolts to the speci-
®ed torque.
Tightening torque:
Refer to FRONT SUSPENSION (FA-24).
+Check front axle and front suspension parts for wear, cracks
and other damage.
+Check shock absorber for oil leakage and other damage.
+Check knuckle ¯ange for grease leakage and knuckle ¯ange
grease seal for cracks and other damage.
Front Wheel Bearing
+Check that wheel bearings operate smoothly.
+Check axial end play.
Axial end play:
0mm(0in)
+Adjust wheel bearing preload if there is any axial end play or
wheel bearing does not turn smoothly.

19. Pack drive ¯ange groove with grease, apply grease to O-ring
and mating surface of drive ¯ange, and install ¯ange.
20. Place snap ring in drive shaft groove. Choose snap ring so that
the gap between groove and snap ring is 0.4 mm (0.016 in) or
less.
Refer to SDS for selection of snap ring.
Front Wheel Alignment
Before checking front wheel alignment, be sure to make a prelimi-
nary inspection (Unladen*).
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack, hand
tools and mats in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Check tires for wear and improper in¯ation.
2. Check wheel runout on outside and inside.
Wheel runout average
[(Outside runout value + Inside runout value) x 0.5]:
Refer to SDS (FA-27).
3. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.
4. Check front suspension for looseness.
5. Check steering linkage for looseness.
6. Check that shock absorbers work properly.
7. Check vehicle posture (Unladen).
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION
Camber, caster and kingpin inclination are preset at factory
and cannot be adjusted.
1. Measure camber, caster and kingpin inclination of both right
and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge.
Camber, Caster and Kingpin inclination:
Refer to SDS (FA-27).
2. If camber, caster or kingpin inclination is not within
speci®cation, inspect front suspension parts. Replace damaged
or worn out parts.
