INSTALLATION
1. Remove the crankshaft rear oil seal from cylinder block and rear crankshaft main bearing cap.
2. Remove the crankshaft main bearings from the cylinder block and crankshaft main bearing caps.
3. Remove the connecting rod bearings from the connecting rods and connecting rod bearing caps.
4. If the crankshaft main bearing journals have been refinished to a definite undersize, install the correct undersize crankshaft main bearing and
crankshaft thrust main bearing. Make sure crankshaft main bearings and crankshaft thrust main bearings and bearing bores are clean. Foreign
material under crankshaft main bearings and crankshaft thrust main bearings will distort the crankshaft main bearings and crankshaft thrust main
bearings and cause failure.
NOTE: If the original crankshaft main bearings and crankshaft thrust main bearings are to be reused, all crankshaft main bearings and crankshaft
thrust main bearings should be .' marked for installation into their original locations.
5. Place the upper half of the crankshaft main bearings and crankshaft thrust main bearings in the bores with tang in slot.
CAUTION: The oil holes in the upper half of the crankshaft main bearings and crankshaft thrust main bearings must be aligned with the oil holes
in the cylinder block.
6. Install lower half of the crankshaft main bearings and crankshaft thrust main bearings in crankshaft main bearing caps.
7. Clean the rear journal oil seal groove and mating surfaces of the cylinder block and rear crankshaft main bearing cap.
8. Install a new crankshaft rear oil seal in the cylinder block and rear crankshaft main bearing cap.
9. Carefully lower the crankshaft into place.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage crankshaft main bearing and crankshaft thrust main bearing surfaces.
10. Check the clearance of each crankshaft main bearing and crankshaft thrust main bearing with Plastigage(R) or equivalent.
11. After crankshaft main bearings and crankshaft thrust main bearings have been fitted, apply light coat of specified engine oil to journals and
crankshaft main bearings and crankshaft thrust main bearings. Install all crankshaft main bearing caps except thrust bearing cap No. 3. Make sure
