Eclipse Spyder FWD L4-2350cc 2.4L SOHC 16 Valve (1996)
Tightening Sequences for Elastic Cylinder Head Bolts
Installation of Main Bearing Bolts
Two types of main bearing bolts are used on the engines of 1992-96 vehicles: non-elastic and elastic. Before installing either type of bolt, coat the bolt
threads with clean engine oil.
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.

To install non-elastic main bearing bolts, the following procedure is applicable to all vehicles/engines listed above, except the 420A (2.0L) engine:
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.
