Connecting rods
Two stoppers (1), (2) determine the position of each big-end bear-
ing cap relative to the big end. At the time of installing these caps,
be sure to locate stopper (1) of cap in the direction of stopper (2).
NOTE:
The two stoppers do not coincide in longitudinal direction:
the coincidence is meant in the direction shown in figures.
After fitting all three big-end bearing caps, start tightening them uni-
formly, being sure to equalize tightness between right and left on
each cap. The sequence here is similar to that for crankshaft bear-
ing caps.
Tightening Torque
(a): 30 N·m (3.0 kg-m, 22.0 Ib-ft)
Oil pump strainer
Bear in mind that O-ring (1) is often forgotten and left out in reas-
sembly. Absence of this ring defeats the purpose served by the
strainer.
Oil pan
1) After fitting the oil pan to the block, run in the securing bolts and
start tightening at the center: move the wrench outward, tight-
ening one bolt at a time.
Tighten bolts to specified torque.
Tightening Torque
(a): 5 N·m (0.5 kg-m, 4.0 Ib-ft)
