• Install the main bearing cap while referring to the front mark
(B) and the journal number stamp (A).
NOTE:
Main bearing cap cannot be replaced as a single part,
because it is machined together with cylinder block.
8. Tighten main bearing cap bolts in numerical order as shown with the following steps:
a. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of the bolts.
b. Tighten main bearing cap bolts in numerical order.
c. Turn main bearing cap bolts 60 degrees clockwise (angle tight- ening) in numerical order as shown.
CAUTION:
Check and confirm the tightening angle by using the Tool
(A) or protractor. Do not judge by visual inspection without
the Tool (A).
• After installing the main bearing cap bolts, check that crankshaft can be rotated smoothly by hand.
• Check crankshaft end play. Refer to EM-102, "
Inspection".
9. Install piston to connecting rod with the following procedure:
a. Using a heat gun, heat the piston until the pist on pin can be pushed in by hand without excess force
[approximately 60 to 70 °C (140 to 158 °F)]. From the front to the rear, insert piston pin into piston and con-
necting rod.
b. Set so that the front mark (A) on the piston head and the cylin- der number (C) are in the position as shown.
NOTE:
The symbols without notes are for manufacturing.
CAUTION:
Press-fit the piston so as not to damage it.
NOTE:
