Release oil pump spacer bolts (1) with special tool 13 5 020 .
Release main bearing taper screw connection (1).
Release oil pump spacer pins (2).
Release all threaded support sleeves (1).
Release collar bolts (M8) in sequence 10 to 1.
Release collar bolts (M11) in sequence 10 to 1.
Remove main bearing caps 1 to 5.
Lift out crankshaft and set down safely (secure against turning).
Release screw for oil nozzle (1).
Tightening torque: 11 11 8 AZ .
Installation note:
Check oil nozzle (1) for clear passage with compressed air.
Observe fastening on oil nozzle.
Installation note:
Observe fastening in crankcase.
Replace CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING SHELLS .
Installation note:
Observe arrangement of main bearing caps.
All numbers must be read from the cylinder bank (5 to 8) (see arrows).
Main bearing caps (1) is opposite the output end on the timing chain drive.
Turn back all threaded support sleeves hand-tight.
Installation note:
Coat all bearing positions with engine oil.
Install crankshaft.
Fit bearing caps (1 to 5).
Set down bearing caps positioned from 1 to 5.
Insert all collar bolts (M11) hand-tight.
Secure collar bolts (M11) in sequence (1 to 10).
Installation note:
For a better overview of the screw connection quality, mark the head of all collar bolts after joining with a line (1) using an oil-proof marker pen.
Check angle tightening.
Secure collar bolt (1) with special tool 00 9 120 .
Tightening torque: 11 11 1AZ .
Insert all collar bolts (M8) hand-tight.
Secure collar bolts (M8) in sequence (1 to 10).
