b. Install and uniformly tighten the 10 main bearing cap bolts in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Torque: 27 Nm (275 kgf-cm, 20 ft. lbs.)
If any one of the main bearing cap bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the main bearing cap bolt.





c. Mark the front of the main bearing cap bolt with paint.
d. Retighten the main bearing cap bolts by 90° in the numerical order shown.
e. Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.
f. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
9. CHECK CRANKSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE





10. INSTALL PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD ASSEMBLES
Using a piston ring compressor, push correctly the numbered piston and connecting rod assemblies into each cylinder with the front mark of the piston facing forward.

NOTICE: The shape of the piston varies for the LH and RH banks. The LH piston is marked with "LH" and "2R", the RH piston with "RH" and "2R".

11. PLACE CONNECTING ROD CAP ON CONNECTING ROD





a. Match the numbered connecting rod cap with the connecting rod.
b. Align the pin groove of the connecting rod cap with the pins of the connecting rod, and install the connecting rod cap.





c. Check that the outside mark of the connecting rod cap is facing in correct direction.
12. INSTALL CONNECTING ROD CAP BOLTS

HINT: The connecting rod cap bolts are tightened in 2 progressive steps (steps b and d). If any one of the connecting rod cap bolts is broken or deformed, replace it.





a. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the connecting rod cap bolts.
b. Install and alternately tighten the 2 connecting rod cap bolts in several passes.
Torque: 24.5 Nm (250 kgf-cm, 18 ft. lbs.)
If any one of the connecting rod cap bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the connecting rod cap bolts.





c. Mark the front of the connecting cap bolt with paint.
d. Retighten the cap bolts by 90° as shown.
e. Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.
f. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
13. CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
14. INSTALL REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER
a. Remove any old packing (FIPG) material and be careful not to drop any oil on the contacting surfaces of the oil seal retainer and cylinder block.
- Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old packing (FIPG) materials from the gasket surfaces and sealing grooves.
- Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose material.
- Using a non-residue solvent, clean both sealing surfaces.
