inch
(0.40
mm) below the end of the bore. Be sure
to align the oil holes in the bearing with the
oil
holes in
the bearing bore (Figure
21).
The
oil
passage must beat
least half open. Lubricate bearing after installation.
If head of lock pin is damaged, use side cutters or Easy
Out tool to remove and install new pin. Oil grooves in
thrust washers must face the crankshaft, and washers
must be flat (not bent). The two notches on each washer
must fit over the two lock pins to prevent riding on the
crankshaft (Figure
21).

Lubricate the front main bearing lightly with oil and
insert the crankshaft. With the rear bearing plate gasket
in place and the rear plate bearing lubricated, slide the
thrust washer (grooves toward crankshaft) and plate
over the end of the crankshaft.
A
light film of oil on the
thrust washer may hold it in place while installing
bearing plate over crankshaft. Line up notches of thrust
washer with lock pins before tightening end plate or
lock pins

After the rear bearing end plate has been tightened,
using the torque recommended in
ASSEM€LYTORQUES
AND
SPEClAL TOOLS,
check the crankshaft endplay

between the thrust washer
and plate. Reinstall the end plate, making sure the thrust
washer and shim notches line up with the lock pins.
Torque and recheck endplay of the crankshaft.
