2) Install conrod cap.
a) Apply molybdenum oil solution to crank pin and
conrod bearing.
b) Install dowel pins (2) and conrod cap (3) (with
bearing) to conrod with embossed mark on the
cap toward flywheel side.
Reassemble each conrod cap to its original
position.
Do not mix them in position.
3) Apply engine oil to conrod bolts.
Tighten conrod cap bolts in three steps as follows.
a) Lightly seat all conrod bolts at first, then tighten
bolts 10 N·m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 lbf-ft) of specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Conrod cap bolt (1st step): 10 N·m (1.0 kgf-
m, 7.2 lbf-ft)
b) Tighten bolts 15 N·m (1.5 kgf-m, 10.8 lbf-ft) of
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Conrod cap bolt (2nd step): 15 N·m (1.5 kgf-
m, 10.8 lbf-ft)
c) Finally tighten bolts 65 degrees turn from the
point of step (b) using an angular torque gauge.
Tightening torque
Conrod cap bolt (Final step): 15 N·m (1.5 kgf-
m, 10.8 lbf-ft), then plus turn in 65 degrees.
NOTE
Purchase a commercially available angular
torque gauge for this step of tightening bolts.
d) Pour approx. 2 ml of engine oil to each side
surface of the conrod big end for initial
lubrication.
