3. Install the bearing halves in the engine block and the connecting rods.

4. Apply new engine oil to the inside of the main bearings and the rod bearings. Be careful not to damage the journals.

5. Hold the crankshaft so rod journal No. 2 and rod journal No. 3 are straight up, then lower the crankshaft into the engine block.

6. Apply new engine oil to the thrust washer surfaces. Install the thrust washers (A) in the No. 4 journal of the engine block.





7. Inspect the connecting rod bolts Connecting Rod Bolt Inspection.

8. Apply new engine oil to the threads of the connecting rod bolts.

9. Seat the rod journals into connecting rod No. 1 and connecting rod No. 4. Line up the mark (B) on the connecting rod and cap, then install the caps and bolts finger-tight.

10. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise, and seat the rod journals into connecting rod No. 2 and connecting rod No. 3. Line up the mark on the connecting rod and cap, then install the caps and the bolts finger-tight.

11. Torque the connecting rod bolts to 10 Nm (1.0 kg-m, 7.4 lb-ft).

12. Torque the connecting rod bolts an additional 90 °.

NOTE: Remove the connecting rod bolt if you tightened it beyond the specified angle, and go back to step 7 of the procedure. Do not loosen it back to the specified angle.





13. Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the bearing cap mating surfaces the bolts, and the bolt holes.

14. Clean and dry the bearing cap mating surfaces.

15. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, to the bearing cap mating surfaces. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.

NOTE:

- Apply a 1.5 mm (0.059 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
- If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
- If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.





16. Put the bearing cap on the engine block.

17. Apply new engine oil to the threads of the bearing cap bolts.

18. Torque the bearing cap bolts in sequence to 25 Nm (2.5 kg-m, 18 lb-ft).






19. Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 40 °.





20. Clean the excess liquid gasket off the engine block.

21. Apply a light coat of new engine oil to the lip of the crankshaft oil seal.

22. Use the driver handle 15 x 135L and the oil seal driver attachment, 96mm to drive a new crankshaft oil seal (A) squarely into the engine block to the specified installed height.





23. Clean the excess grease off the crankshaft, and check that the oil seal lip is not distorted.

24. Measure the distance between the engine block (A) and the oil seal (B).










25. Install the dowel pins (A) and a new O-ring (B) on the oil pump (C), then align the inner rotor with the crankshaft, and install the oil pump.





26. Install the oil strainer (D) with a new gasket (E).

27. Install the cylinder head Cylinder Head Installation.

28. Install the cam chain Cam Chain Installation.

29. Install the IMA motor housing Removal and Replacement.

30. Install the engine/IMA motor/transmission assembly Engine Installation.

NOTE: When any crankshaft or connecting rod bearing is replaced, run the engine at idle until it reaches normal operating temperature, then continue to run it for about 15 minutes.
