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 vehicles 

    NOTE: This procedure is for selecting bearings using a new crankshaft.
  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.
        Fig 4: Locating Codes
        G06095828Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
  2. Using the chart, 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.
      Fig 5: Bearing Selection Chart

  3. NOTE: Before assembling the cylinder block, all sealing surfaces must be free of chips, dirt, paint and foreign material. Also, make sure the coolant and oil passages are clear.
