A properly centered #3 main bearing cap has a minimum of 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) clearance in both the forward and rearward crankshaft
positions. If measured clearance is less than 0.25 mm (0.010 inch), loosen and reposition #3 main bearing cap until this minimum clearance
can be verified by repeating this procedure.
10. Following verification of proper #3 bearing cap centering, finish tightening the main bearing cap inner bolts an additional 90° turn.
11. Measure crankshaft end play See: Procedures.
12. Install connecting rods and measure side clearance See: Connecting Rod Bearing/Service and Repair.
NOTE: The main bearing cap bolts must be tightened in the proper sequence. First the inner main cap bolts, secondly the windage tray bolts,
and lastly the main cap tie (horizontal) bolts.
