CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY 14
To fit
1 Clean the upper half of the shell bearing and
lubricate the bearing surface with clean engine
lubricating oil.
Caution: Only the upper half of the bearing has
lubrication holes and must be fitted to the side of
the cylinder block.
2 Fit the plain end of the upper half of the bearing
between the crankshaft journal and the side of the
bearing housing which has the recess for the
location tag. Slide the bearing into its housing until
the tag on the bearing is fitted correctly in its
recess in the housing.
3 Clean the lower half of the bearing and cap,
lubricate the bearing surface with clean engine
lubricating oil.
4 Fit the bearing into the cap with the tag of the
bearing fitted correctly in the recess in the cap.
5 Ensure that the location thimbles are fitted
correctly to the cap or to the cylinder block. Fit the
bearing cap with the location tags of both bearings
on the same side (A1).
6 Inspect the setscrews for damage and for
distortion and renew them if necessary. Lightly
lubricate the setscrew threads with clean engine
lubricating oil. Fit the setscrews and the washers
and tighten the setscrews gradually and evenly to
265 Nm (196 lbf ft) 27,0 kgf m for six cylinder
engines and 250 Nm (185 lb ft) 26,0 Kgf m for four
cylinder engines.
Note: Washers are not fitted between the
setscrews and the bearing caps on the latest
engines.
7 Ensure that the crankshaft turns freely. If the
thrust washers have been removed and fitted,
check the crankshaft end-float, operation 14A-03.
8 Fit all the components which were removed for
access to the main bearing cap.
9Fit the lubricating oil sump, operation 19A-03 and
fill it to the correct level with an approved
lubricating oil.
