1. Install and uniformly tighten the bearing cap bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.

   Tightening torque 

   Main bearing cap bolt

   49.0 N.m (5.0 kgf.m, 36.2 lb-ft) + 90° (1 ~ 8)

   19.6 N.m (2.0 kgf.m, 14.5 lb-ft) + 120° (9 ~ 16)

   29.4 ~ 31.4 N.m (3.0 ~ 3.2 kgf.m, 21.7 ~ 23.1 lb-ft) (17 ~ 24)

   NOTE:

   • Always use new main bearing cap bolts.
   • If any of the bearing cap bolts are broken or deformed, replace it.

2. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.

1. Install the ring compressor, check that the bearing is securely in place, then position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in using the wooden handle of a hammer.
2. Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and check the connecting rod-to-check journal alignment before pushing the piston into place.
3. Apply engine oil to the bolt threads. Install the rod caps with bearings, and torque the bolts.

   Tightening torque 

   17.7 ~ 21.6 N.m (1.8~2.2 kgf.m, 13.0 ~ 15.9 lb-ft) + (88 ~ 92°)

   NOTE:

   • Always use new connecting rod bearing cap bolts.
   • Maintain downward force on the ring compressor to prevent the rings from expanding before entering the cylinder bore.

   NOTE:

   • Clean the sealing face before assembling two parts.
   • Remove harmful foreign materials on the sealing face before applying sealant.
   • When applying sealant gasket, sealant must not protrude into the inside of oil pan.
   • To prevent leakage of oil, apply sealant gasket to the inner threads of the bolt holes.
3. Install the upper oil pan.

   Uniformly tighten the bolts in several passes.
