2. 1.2. Always replace bearing shells. Observe relevant classification.
3. 1.3. Fit thrust bearing no. 5 with thrust washers -4- (insert using grease, lubricating groove facing outwards) and then fit the remaining bearing covers.
4. 1.4. Tap crankshaft bearing covers on securely as far as they will go using a rubber hammer so that the tightening torque will be accurate.
5. 1.5. Internal serration screws on the crankshaft bearing covers -2- must always be replaced and screwed in by hand.
6. 1.6. Then gradually tighten the bearing covers from the inside out to the specified torque -2- .
7. 1.7. As a test, turn the crankshaft several times to check that it turns smoothly.
