Raise the temperature of crankshaft gear (3). Install crankshaft gear (3) on the crankshaft with the keyway in alignment with the dowel. Timing Mark "V" is toward the outside of the crankshaft. The notch in the gear must be in alignment with the dowel in the crankshaft.Note: Install the main bearings dry when clearance checks are made. Apply clean engine oil on the main bearing for final assembly.

Note: Install the thrust plates with the identification "Block Side" toward the cylinder block.
Apply clean engine oil to thrust plates (7). Install thrust plates (7) next to the center main bearings.
Illustration 7 g01096945
Install the lower half of the main bearings in main bearing caps (6) .
Check the bearing clearances with Tooling (E) .Note: Ensure that the numbers on main bearing caps (6) match the numbers on the cylinder block. The arrows on main bearing caps (6) are toward the front of the cylinder block.Note: If the bolts for your main bearing cap are twelve point head bolts, the torque is 450 14 N m (332 10 lb ft). If the bolts for your main bearing cap are hex head bolts, the torque is 258 14 N m (190 10 lb ft).
Install main bearing caps (6). Apply Tooling (G) to bolts (5). Install bolts (5) in main bearing caps (6). Tighten the bolt on the tab end of main bearing caps (6). Next, tighten the other main bearing cap bolt.
Put a mark on each bolt and each main bearing cap. Tighten the bolt on the opposite side of the tab end of the main bearing cap for an additional 120 5 degrees. Next, tighten the bolt on the tab end of the main bearing cap for an additional 120 5 degrees.
