Expo LRV AWD L4-1834cc 1.8L SOHC 16 Valve (1992)
NOTE:
Designations such as "Turbo," "Non-Turbo," "SOHC," and "DOHC" are only used if these items cause variation to the torque information of the
engine.
Non-Elastic Main Bearing Bolts
The following vehicles use non-elastic main bearing bolts:
^
1992 Eclipse and 1992 Galant 4G6 (2.0L)
^
1992 Expo and 1992 Truck, 4G6 (2.4L)
^
1992-95 Mirage, 4G1 (1.5L)
^
1992-94 Eclipse, 4G3 (1.8L)
^
1995 Eclipse, 420A (2.0L), Non-Turbo (Use bolt tightening sequence chart.)
^
1995 Galant, 6G7 (2.5L) (Use bolt tightening sequence chart.)
^
1992-95 Truck, 1992-95 Diamante, 1993-95 Diamante Wagon, 1992-95 3OOOGT, and 1992-95 Montero, 6G7 (3.0L) (Use bolt tightening sequence
chart.)
^
1994-95 Montero, 6G7 (3.5L) (Use bolt tightening sequence chart.)
To install non-elastic main bearing bolts, the following procedure is applicable to all vehicles/engines listed above, except the 420A (2.0L) engine.
1.
Tighten the bolts on each main bearing cap equally, until the specified torque is reached. Use the bolt tightening sequence, if applicable. Refer to
the sequence chart.
On the 420A (2.0L) engine, the tightening method is slightly different:
1.
Check the bolts for damage by laying a straight edge against the threads. If the threads are not even and level against the straight edge, replace the
bolt. Refer to the illustration.
2.
Tighten bolts # 1 through # 10 (in sequence) to 75 Nm (55 ft.lbs.). Refer to the sequence chart.
3.
Tighten bolts A through K (in sequence) to 28 Nm (20 ft.lbs.). Refer to the sequence chart.
