NOTE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. All parts must be thoroughly cleaned and any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.
NOTE: If the oil pan was removed during engine disassembly, it must be installed after the engine and transaxle are assembled and the transaxle-to-engine bolts are installed. Failure to follow this assembly sequence can result in engine oil leaks.
NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components (engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and piston rings). These inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the engine components will require replacement. For additional information, refer to ENGINE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION .

All engines 

  1. Select the crankshaft main bearings for each crankshaft journal.
    1. Read the code on the crankshaft flange.
    2. Read the code on the cylinder block rear face.
      • The first 2 numbers after the asterisk make up the code for main No. 1 and the next 2 numbers for main No. 2.
      • The first 2 numbers after the second asterisk make up the code for main No. 3 and the last 2 numbers for main No. 4.

    NOTE: This procedure is for selecting bearings using a new crankshaft.
  2. Using the table below, choose a bearing for each main. Match the block and crankshaft code with its corresponding column or row, by reading across the "crankshaft" row and down the "block" column.
    • For example: If the block code is *0609*0711* and the crankshaft code is *8580*8082*, main No. 1 should use grade 1 bearings, as determined by the intersection of the 06 block column and the 85 crankshaft row. Mains 2, 3 and 4 should all be grade 2.
