Crankshaft & Main Bearings

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Plymouth Voyager, 1995 Dodge Dakota, and 1995 Dodge Caravan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Main bearing caps are numbered with No. 1 at timing belt end and No. 5 at flywheel end. Arrow on main bearing caps must point toward timing belt end of engine.
  2. Before installing main bearings, hold a straightedge across threads of main bearing cap bolts. Ensure threads contact straightedge in all areas. If threads fail to contact straightedge, bolts are stretched and must be replaced.
  3. Lightly coat bolt threads with engine oil before installing. Tighten main bearing cap bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  4. Ensure main bearing oil clearance and crankshaft end play are within specification. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS . Replace thrust bearing if end play is not within specification.
