REMOVAL SERVICE POINT

.

<<A>> CRANKSHAFT REMOVAL

When temporarily placing the crankshaft with the crankshaft 
sensing ring attached, temporarily place it on a V-block to pre-
vent teeth of the sensing ring from deforming.
NOTE: If a tooth bends, be sure to replace the crankshaft sens-
ing ring with a new one.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

.

>>A<< CRANKSHAFT SENSING RING INSTALLA-
TION

Tighten crankshaft sensing ring bolts to the torque of 11 

± 1 

N

⋅m (98 ± 8 in-lb) in the tightening order shown in the illustra-

tion.

.

>>B<< THRUST BEARING INSTALLATION 

1. Install the thrust bearing on the Number 3 bearing on the 

cylinder block side. Application of engine oil makes the 
installation easy.

2. Install the thrust bearing so that the grooved side is on the

>>E<< CRANKSHAFT BEARING CAP / 
CRANKSHAFT BEARING CAP BOLT 
INSTALLATION

1. Install the crankshaft bearing cap with reference to the 

identification mark as illustrated.

2. Make sure that the underhead length of the bolt is at or 

below the limit before installing the crankshaft bearing cap 
bolt. If the length exceeds the limit, replace the bolt with a 
new one.

Limit: 75.5 

− 76.5 mm (2.972 − 3.012 inch)

3. Apply engine oil to the threaded portion and seat surface of 

the bolt.

4. Tighten crankshaft bearing cap bolts to the torque of 26.5 

± 

2.0 N

⋅m (20 ± 1 ft-lb) according to the tightening order.

CAUTION

• When the tightening angle is smaller than the specified 

tightening angle, the appropriate tightening capacity 
cannot be secured.

• When the tightening angle is larger than the specified 

tightening angle, remove the bolt to start from the 
beginning again according to the procedure.

5. Use special tool Angle gauge (MB991614) to tighten bolts 

45

° according to the tightening order.
