NOTES:
Self-locking stud bolts are, inserted into the crankcase for attaching the crankshaft bearing caps. The stud bolts must be used only once as the locking
fluid which is applied to the thread overall length of about 8 mm is no longer effective when the bolts are removed. Pay attention to different insertion
depths and collar diameter when replacing the stud bolts.
When performing repairs, it is not permitted to use HELI-COIL inserts for the self-locking stud bolts of the crankshaft bearing caps.
