Typical example
Check each bearing cap (1) for the location on the engine. Each bearing cap has an arrow which points toward the front of the engine and a number which gives the location of that bearing cap. Keep each bearing with the correct bearing cap.
Remove the bearing caps No. 2 through No. 6. Remove thrust plates from No. 4 upper bearing.
Install one of the flywheel bolts in each end of the crankshaft. Fasten a hoist to the crankshaft. Remove No. 1 and No. 7 main bearing caps. Remove the crankshaft. The weight of the crankshaft is approximately 148 kg (326 lb).
Be careful not to damage the crankshaft journals when removing the crankshaft.

Raise the temperature of crankshaft gear (2) to a maximum temperature of 232 °C (450 °F). Install gear (2) on the crankshaft with groove (3) in alignment with the dowel.Note: Gear (2) must be installed on the crankshaft with the "V"timing mark toward the outside.
Clean the block and the upper main bearings.Note: Install the main bearings dry when clearance checks are made. Put clean engine oil on the upper main bearings and journals of the crankshaft.
Install the upper bearings in the cylinder block. Ensure that the tab in each bearing is in alignment with the notch in the cylinder block.
Install one of the flywheel bolts in each end of the crankshaft. Fasten a hoist to the crankshaft and place the crankshaft into position in the block. The weight of the crankshaft is approximately 180 kg (400 lb).
Install the crankshaft with the
