Fig. 5: Main Bearing Cap Removal Sequence With Torque Specifications
- Clean each main journal and main bearing half with a clean shop towel
- Place one strip of plastigage across each main journal
- Reinstall the main bearings and the lower block. Tighten the bolts in
three steps; tighten the bolts until
the bolts sit on the lower block, tighten the bolts until the liquid gasket
is compressed, tighten the bolts to
specified torque.
NOTE :
- Apply new engine oil to the bolt threads and flanges.
- Do not rotate the crankshaft during inspection.
- Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 57º in the number
sequence shown.
- Remove the lower block and the main bearings, and measure the
widest part of the plastigage.
Standard (New): 0.018-0.034 mm (0.00071-0.00134 in)
Service Limit: 0.045 mm (0.00177 in)
- If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the
crankshaft, and remove the upper half of
the main bearing. Install a new, complete main bearing with the same color
code, and recheck the
clearance. Do not file, shim, or scrape the main bearings or the caps to
adjust clearance.
- If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next
larger or smaller main bearing (the
color listed above or below that one), and check the clearance again. If the
proper clearance cannot be
obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller main bearings, replace
the crankshaft and start over.
8. Crankshaft Main Bearing - Select
Block Bore Code
Locations
Main Journal Code
Locations
- Numbers, letters, or bars have been stamped on either side of the lower
block
as a code for the size of each of the five main journal bores. Use them, and
the
numbers stamped on the crankshaft (codes for main journal size), to choose
the
correct main bearings.
NOTE : If the codes 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
- Use the block bore codes and the main journal codes to select the
appropriate
replacement main 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.
9. All Removed Parts - Install
