Oil crankshaft bearing cap bolts on thread and bolt head contact surface.
Tighten crankshaft bearing cap bolts in the numerical sequence Engine 133, 139, 260, 270, 274
Engine 282 .

Observe torque and tightening angle of the crankshaft bearing cap bolts.

If no angle tightener is available, continue turning crankshaft bearing cap bolts with a socket wrench and breaker bar in one move to specified angle. To exclude an angular error, do not use a bending rod torque wrench when tightening.
