>> E << Crankshaft Bearing Cap/Crankshaft Bearing Cap Bolt Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Install the crankshaft bearing cap with reference to the identification mark as illustrated.
- Before using the crankshaft bearing cap bolt again, carry out the check according to the following procedure:
- Measure the 2 points on the outside diameter of thread as shown in the illustration.
- When the difference between the measured outside diameters is beyond the limit value, replace the crankshaft bearing cap bolt.
Limit value
M10: 0.15 mm (0.006 inch)
M8: 0.10 mm (0.004 inch)
- Apply engine oil to the threaded portion and seat surface of the bolt.
- Tighten crankshaft bearing cap bolts to the specified torque according to the tightening order.
Specified torque
M10: 37.2 ± 2.0 N.m (27 ± 1 ft-lb)
M8: 9.0 ± 2.0 N.m (80 ± 17 in-lb)
- Make a paint mark on the head of each bolt.
- Make a paint mark on the bearing cap 90° from the paint mark made on the bolt, in the direction of tightening the bolt.CAUTION:
- When the tightening angle is smaller than the specified tightening angle, the appropriate tightening capacity cannot be secured.
- When the tightening angle is larger than the specified tightening angle, remove the bolt to start from the beginning again according to the procedure.
- Turn each bolt 90° in the tightening sequence specified in step 1, and make sure that the paint marks on the bolt and cap are aligned.
- Check end play of the crankshaft after installing the crankshaft bearing cap. If the end play exceeds the limit, replace the thrust bearing.
Standard value: 0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.002 - 0.010 inch)
Limit: 0.4 mm (0.02 inch)
