Tightening Torques and Sequences

Main Bearing Cap Torque and Sequence
Tighten the bearing cap bolts in sequence, to 29 N-m (3.0 kgf-m, 22 lbf-ft).



Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 48 °.



Tighten the 8 mm bolts in sequence to 22 N-m (2.2 kgf-m, 16 lbf-ft).





Rod Bearing Cap Torque and Sequence
Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 41 N-m (4.2 kgf-m, 30 lbf-ft).
Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 120 °.





Connecting Rod Bolt Reuse/Replace
Measure the diameter of each connecting rod bolt at point A and point B.
Calculate the difference in diameter between point A and point B.
Point A-Point B = Difference in Diameter
If the difference in diameter is out of specification, replace the connecting rod bolt.








Crankshaft Pulley Torque
Tighten the bolt to 49 N-m (5.0 kgf-m, 36 lbf-ft)
If the pulley bolt or crankshaft are new, tighten the bolt to 177 N-m (18.0 kgf-m, 130 lbf-ft), then remove the bolt and tighten it to 49 N-m (5.0 kgf-m, 36 lbf-ft).
Tighten the pulley bolt an additional 90 °.
