19. Install the bearing (A), then line up the mark (B) on the connecting rod (C) and the rod cap (D).
20. Apply new engine oil to the bolt threads and flanges. Torque the bolts (E) to 20 Nm (2.0 kg-m, 15 lb-ft).
21. Mark the connecting rod (A) and the bolt head (B) as shown.
22. Tighten the bolt until the mark on the bolt head lines up with the mark on the connecting rod (turn the bolt 90 °).
