Tighten the bolts to the torque specified in
Table 2.
5. Measure the crankshaft and bearing diameters and
compare them with the specifications in Tab les 1-3.
6. Measure the width
of
the intermediate thrust bearing
(Figure 70)and compare itwith the specification inTab le
I.
7. Be sure to lubricate the bearing inserts with oil before
installing the intermediate main bearing housing on the
crankshaft. Install the bearing housing on the crankshaft
so the F mark
(B, Fi

measuring equipment is available. have a dealership or
machine shop measure main bearing dimensions. R
ef
er to
specifications in Tables 1-3.
If
front or rear bearing rep lacement is necessary. have
the main bearings replaced by a dealership or machine
shop. Be sure the oil holes in the main bearings align with
the oil passages in the
cra
nkcase and mainbearing carrier.
I. Remove thc fuel transfer pump (Figure 71, typical).
2. Remove the crankshaft as previously described.
3. Prevent rotation
of
the camshaft gear by holding a
screwdriver or other tool against the camshaft bearing rc-
