Crankshaft Main Bearings
6.
Put clean oil on the thrust bearing, and install a new
thrust bearing for the rear main bearing. Install the thrust
bearing with the identification "BLOCK SIDE" toward the
cylinder block and the tabs on the thrust bearings in the
machined area in the cylinder block. Tabs (4) on thrust
bearing (3) will not let the thrust bearing be installed
backward.
7.
Install main bearing caps (1), and tighten the bolts as
in Steps 5b and 5c.
8.
Remove the remainder of the main bearing caps,
and do Steps 2, 4, 5 and 7 again.
9.
Check the crankshaft end play with tooling (C). The
end play is controlled by the thrust bearings on the rear
main bearing. End play with new bearings must be
0.064 to 0.368 mm (.0025 to .0145 in.). The maximum
permissible end play with used bearings is 0.64 mm
(.025 in.).
