Measuring bearing clearance gauging material
If clearance exceeds specified limits, try a 0.001 in. or 0.002 in. undersize bearing
in combination with the standard bearing. Bearing clearance must be within
specified limits. If a standard and 0.002 in. undersize bearing does not bring
clearance within desired limits, refinish crankshaft journal, and install undersize
bearings.
7. Install the rear main seal.
NOTE:
Be sure that main bearing caps are installed in the original locations.
8. After the bearings have been fitted, apply a light coat of engine oil to the crankshaft
journals and bearings.
9. Install the rear main bearing cap.
10. Install all bearing caps except the thrust bearing cap.
11. Torque all bearing cap bolts to specification.
12. Install the thrust bearing cap as follows:
A. Install the bearing cap with bolts finger-tight.
B. Pry the crankshaft forward against the thrust surface of the upper half of the
bearing.
C. Hold the crankshaft forward and pry the thrust bearing cap to the rear.
D. Retain the forward pressure on the crankshaft and torque the cap bolts to
specifications.
13. Measure the crankshaft end-play as follows:
