position on the crankshaft.
4. Install the lower half of the rod bearing in the connecting rod cap.
The serviceman must be very careful to use Plastigage correctly. The following points must be
remembered:
...Make sure that the backs of the bearings and the bores are clean and dry.
...Make sure that the bearing locking tabs are properly seated in their slots.
...The crankshaft must be free of oil where the Plastigage touches it.
...Put a piece of Plastigage on the crown of the bearing half that is in the cap. Do not allow the
Plastigage to extend over the edge of the bearing.
...Install the bearing cap using the correct torque-turn specifications. Do not use an impact wrench.
Be careful not to dislodge the bearing when the cap is installed.
...Do not turn the crankshaft with the Plastigage installed.
...Carefully remove the cap, but do not remove the Plastigage. Measure the width of the Plastigage
while it is in the bearing cap or on the crankshaft journal. Do this by using the correct scale on the
package. Record the measurements.
...Remove the Plastigage before installing the cap.
When using Plastigage, the readings can sometimes be unclear. For example, all parts of the
Plastigage are not the same width. Measure the major widths to make sure that they are within the
specification range. Also, experience has shown that when checking clearances tighter than 0.10
mm (.004") the readings may be low by 0.013 to 0.025 mm (.0005 to .0010"). Out-of-round

the connecting rod.
8. Install connecting rod cap (2). Install the nuts. Tighten the nuts to a torque of 41 ± 4 N·m (30 ±
3 lb.ft.). Put a mark on each nut and the end of each bolt. Tighten the nuts 60° ± 5° more.
9. Remove the connecting rod caps. Measure the thickness of the Plastigage. The connecting rod
bearing clearance must be 0.043 ± 0.140 mm (.0017 to .0055 in.) for new bearings. The maximum
clearance with used bearings is 0.15 mm (.006 in.).
10. Install the connecting rod caps, and tighten the nuts as in Step 8.

28. NOTICE
If the crankshaft is turned in the wrong direction, the tab of the
bearing will be pushed between the crankshaft and cylinder block. This
can cause damage to either or both.
NOTE: The center and two end main journals have no oil hole. To remove these bearings, put a
thin piece of soft material that will not damage the crankshaft journal against the end of the
bearing opposite the tab. Hit the bearing with the soft material until the tab of the bearing is free
from the groove in the cylinder block. Remove the upper half of the main bearing.
4. Remove the upper half of the other main bearings as follows:
a. Turn the crankshaft until tool (B) can be installed in the crankshaft journal. Install tool (B).
b. Turn the crankshaft in the direction which will push the upper main bearing out, tab end first.
c. Check the condition of the bearings. (See Guideline For Reusable Parts, Main And Connecting
Rod Bearings, Form No. SEBF8009.)
5. Remove crankshaft thrust bearings (2) from each side of the No. 3 main bearing saddle.
NOTE: Install the main bearings dry when the clearance checks are made. Put clean engine oil on
the main bearings for final assembly. Also, be sure the tabs on the back side of the main bearings
fit in the grooves of the main bearing caps and cylinder block.
6. Clean the surfaces in the cylinder block for the main bearings. Use tool (B), and install new
upper halves of main bearings (bearings with the oil hole) in the cylinder block. Do not put oil on
the bearing.

29. 7. Clean the surfaces of the main bearing caps for the main bearings. Install the new lower halves
of the main bearings in the main caps without oil.
Typical Example
The serviceman must be very careful to use Plastigage correctly. The following points must be
remembered:
...Make sure that the backs of the bearings and the bores are clean and dry.
...Make sure that the bearing locking tabs are properly seated in their slots.
...The crankshaft must be free of oil where the Plastigage touches it.
...If the main bearing clearances are checked with the engine upright or on its side, the crankshaft
must be supported. Use a jack under an adjacent crankshaft counterweight and hold the crankshaft
against the crown of the bearing. If the crankshaft is not supported, the weight of the crankshaft
will cause incorrect readings.
...Put a piece of Plastigage on the crown of the bearing half that is in the cap. Do not allow the
Plastigage to extend over the edge of the bearing.
...Install the bearing cap using the correct torque-turn specifications. Do not use an impact wrench.
Be careful not to dislodge the bearing when the cap is installed.
...Do not turn the crankshaft with the Plastigage installed.
...Carefully remove the cap, but do not remove the Plastigage. Measure the width of the Plastigage
while it is in the bearing cap or on the crankshaft journal. Do this by using the correct scale on the
package. Record the measurements.
...Remove the Plastigage before installing the cap.
When using Plastigage, the readings can sometimes be unclear. For example, all parts of the
Plastigage are not the same width. Measure the major widths to make sure that they are within the
specification range. Also, experience has shown that when checking clearances tighter than 0.10
mm (.004") the readings may be low by 0.013 to 0.025 mm (.0005 to .0010"). Out-of-round
journals can give faulty readings. Also, journal taper may be indicated when one end of the
Plastigage is wider than the other.
For complete details concerning measuring bearing clearances, see Engine Bearings And
Crankshafts, Form No. SEBD0531.
8. Check the main bearing clearance with Plastigage (C) as follows:

30. a. Put a piece of Plastigage (C) on the crown of the bearing half that is in the cap or on the
crankshaft journal as shown.
NOTICE
Make sure the part number on the main bearing caps is toward the
front of the engine and the number on the main bearing caps is the
same as the number on the outside (camshaft side) of the cylinder
block.
b. Put main bearing caps (1) in position on the cylinder block. Put 2P2506 Thread Lubricant on
the bolt threads and the contact surfaces of the bolt heads, and install the bolts. Tighten the bolts
on the side where the main bearing tabs are located to a torque of 61 ± 6 N·m (45 ± 4 lb.ft.).
Tighten the bolts on the opposite side to a torque of 61 ± 6 N·m (45 ± 4 lb.ft.).
c. Put a mark on each bolt head and the bearing caps. Turn the bolts that are opposite the main
bearing tabs an extra 60° ± 5° from the mark. Turn the bolts on the side where the main bearing
tabs are located an extra 60° ± 5° from the mark.
d. Remove main bearing caps (1), and measure the Plastigage. This will determine the bearing
clearance. The main bearing clearance with a new bearing must be 0.076 to 0.168 mm (.0030
to .0066 in.). The maximum permissible clearance with used main bearings is 0.18 mm (.007 in.).
9. Put clean engine oil on thrust bearings (2) from the No. 3 main bearing saddle. Install a thrust
bearing on each side of No. 3 main bearing saddle with the identification "BLOCK SIDE" toward
the bearing saddle and the side with the oil grooves toward the crankshaft.
10. Install main bearing caps (1), and tighten the bolts as in Steps 8b and 8c.

31. 11. Check the end play of the crankshaft with tool (D). Be sure the dial indicator is against a
machined surface. The end play is controlled by the thrust bearings on each side of No. 3 center
main bearing. The end play with new bearings must be 0.064 to 0.480 mm (.0025 to .0189 in.).
The maximum permissible end play with used bearings is 0.64 mm (.025 in.). Make a replacement
of the thrust bearings if needed.

block on the back side of the crankshaft flange and pull the crankshaft
back. This will cause the crankshaft thrust bearing to fail.
3. Put tooling (A) in position on the flywheel with the end of lifting bracket engaged in the groove
of the flywheel as shown. Put flywheel (1) in position on the guide bolts, and make sure offset
hole (4) in the flywheel (identified by dash mark) and the mark on the end of the crankshaft are in
alignment.
NOTICE
Make sure the correct sealant is put on the bolt threads. The holes for
the bolts in the crankshaft flange are drilled through so the holes are
open to the oil in the engine. Leakage along the bolt threads can be the
result if the correct sealant is not used.
4. Put 9S3263 Thread Lock on the bolt threads, and install all but two of the bolts in the flywheel.
Remove tooling (A) and the guide bolts. Install the remainder of bolts (3) in the flywheel. Tighten
the bolts to a torque of 75 ± 8 N·m (55 ± 6 lb.ft.).
5. Use tooling (B) to measure the face runout and bore runout of the flywheel. The face runout and
bore runout must not be greater than 0.15 mm (.006 in.) total indicator reading. See Specifications
for the correct procedure to measure the face runout and bore runout of the flywheel.
