INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Perform the following :a. Adjust the shift cable.
b. Refill the engine with engine oil.
c. Refill the transaxle with fluid.
d. Refill the radiator with engine coolant.
e. Bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
f. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper assemble them, then apply grease to prevent
corrosion.
g. Inspect for fuel leakage.
After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for
approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

Tightening torque

(6)If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new,
complete bearing with the same color mark (select the color as shown in the next column), 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 that one), and check clearance again.
If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings, replace the
crankshaft and start over.
If the marks are indecipherable because of an accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire
brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or detergent.
Crankshaft bore mark location
Letters have been stamped on the block as a mark for the each size of the 4 main journal bores.
No.1 journal stamping mark starts from the front of the engine.
Use the size marks which are stamped on the block and the crankshaft for the journal bore inner diameter and
the journal outer diameter to choose the correct bearings.
