MAIN BEARING CAP TORQUE






M10 Bolts (1-10) In Sequence
- First Pass 20 N.m (15 lb ft)

Important: To properly align the crankshaft thrust bearings, the final thrust of the crankshaft MUST be in the forward direction.


Using a plastic-face hammer, tap the crankshaft rearward, then forward in order to align the thrust bearings.

- Final Pass 80 degrees using the J 45059

M10 studs (11-20) in sequence
- First Pass 20 N.m (15 lb ft)
- Final Pass 51 degrees using the J 45059

Bearing Cap Side M8 Bolts. Tighten the bolt on 1 side of the bearing cap and then tighten the bolt on the opposite side of the same bearing cap.
- Bearing Cap Side M8 Bolts 25 N.m (18 lb ft)
