11. Move crankshaft (1) rearward to limit of travel so that crankshaft thrust face (2) is tight against thrust bearing.
12. Verify that a 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) shim or feeler gage will fit between the #2 main cap (front face) and the crankshaft thrust face. Slide the gage
side-to-side all of the way across the cap making sure that the clearance at all areas exceeds 0.25 mm (0.010 inch). The feeler gage should slide all
the way down to the #2 main journal.
13. A properly centered #2 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 #2 main bearing cap until this minimum clearance can be verified
by repeating this procedure.
14. Following verification of proper #2 bearing cap centering, finish tightening the main bearing cap inner bolts an additional 90° turn.
15. Measure crankshaft end play See: Procedures.
16. Install connecting rods and measure side clearance See: Connecting Rod Bearing/Service and Repair.
