Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install the main bearing shells with the lubrication groove in the cylinder block. See Fig 1.

    1 - LUBRICATION GROOVES
    2 - OIL HOLES
  2. Make certain oil holes in block line up with oil hole in bearings and bearing tabs seat in the block tab slots.
    CAUTION: Do not get oil on the bedplate mating surface. It will affect the sealer ability to seal the bedplate to cylinder block.
  3. Oil the bearings and journals. Install crankshaft.
    CAUTION: Use only the specified anaerobic sealer on the bedplate or damage may occur to the engine.
  4. Apply 1.5 to 2.0 mm (0.059 to 0.078 in.) bead of Mopar® Bed Plate Sealant to cylinder block as shown in Fig 2.

  5. Install lower main bearings into main bearing cap/bedplate. Make certain the bearing tabs are seated into the bedplate slots. Install the main bearing/bedplate into engine block.
  6. Before installing the bolts the threads should be oiled with clean engine oil, wipe off any excess oil.
  7. Install main bearing bedplate to engine block bolts 11, 17, and 20 finger tight. Tighten these bolts down together until the bedplate contacts the cylinder block.
  8. To ensure correct thrust bearing alignment, perform the following steps:
    1. Step 1: Rotate crankshaft until number 4 piston is at TDC.
    2. Step 2: Move crankshaft rearward to limits of travel.
    3. Step 3: Then, move crankshaft forward to limits of travel.
    4. Step 4: Wedge an appropriate tool between the rear of the cylinder block (NOT BED PLATE)  and the rear crankshaft counterweight. This will hold the crankshaft in it's furthest forward position.
    5. Step 5: Install and tighten bolts (1-10) in sequence shown in Fig 3 to 41 N.m (30 ft. lbs.).
    6. Step 6: Remove wedge tool used to hold crankshaft.
  9. Tighten bolts (1-10) again to 41 N.m (30 ft. lbs.) +1/4 turn in sequence shown in Fig 3.
  10. Install main bearing bedplate to engine block bolts (11-20), and torque each bolt to 28 N.m (20 ft. lbs.) in sequence shown in Fig 3.
  11. After the main bearing bedplate is installed, check the crankshaft turning torque. The turning torque should not exceed 5.6 N.m (50 in. lbs.).
  12. Install connecting rod bearings and caps. Do Not Reuse Connecting Rod Bolts.  Torque connecting rod bolts to 27 N.m (20 ft. lbs.) plus 1/4 turn.
  13. Install balance shafts and housing assembly. (Refer to ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/BALANCE SHAFT - INSTALLATION) 
  14. Install the oil pump and pickup tube. (Refer to ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PUMP - INSTALLATION) 
  15. Install the timing belt rear cover. (Refer to ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT / CHAIN COVER(S) - INSTALLATION) 
  16. Install the timing belt. (Refer to ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT/CHAIN AND SPROCKETS - INSTALLATION) 
  17. Install the timing belt front covers. (Refer to ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT / CHAIN COVER(S) - INSTALLATION) 
  18. Install engine support bracket.
  19. Install the oil pan. (Refer to ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PAN - INSTALLATION) 
  20. Install the oil filter.
  21. Install crankshaft rear oil seal. (Refer to ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL - REAR - INSTALLATION) 
  22. Install flex plate. Apply Mopar® Lock & Seal Adhesive to bolt threads and tighten to 95 N.m (70 ft. lbs.).
  23. Install the engine assembly. (Refer to ENGINE - INSTALLATION)
