  1. Blow out oil ducts with compressed air.
  2. Clean bearing points in cylinder crankcase upper section, main bearing cap or cylinder crankcase lower section and main bearing journal on crankshaft with chamois leather.

    IMPORTANT If a bearing damage has occurred, it may be necessary to remove any swarf from the connecting rod bores, oil ducts on the crankshaft as well as the cylinder crankcase. Do not use any hard objects for cleaning.

    IMPORTANT Assignment of the upper bearing shell halves to the basic journal of the crankshaft occurs via color markings on the rear side of the upper bearing shell halves and numbers on the upper cylinder crankcase (see Fig 1).

    Only the assigned letter and number combinations should be fitted together.

    Example: assignment of the upper bearing shells halves 

    IMPORTANT Assignment of the upper bearing shell halves takes place from the power take-off to the control side of the engine.

    Fig 2: Cylinder Crankcase Upper And Lower Section
    G10240659Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA
    • First number "1": A bearing shell halve with the color coding blue must be inserted in the bearing cap '1'.
    • Second number "2": A bearing shell halve with the color coding yellow must be inserted in the bearing cap '2'.
    • Third number "2": A bearing shell halve with the color coding yellow must be inserted in the bearing cap '3'.
    • Fourth number "2": A bearing shell halve with the color coding yellow must be inserted in the bearing cap '4'.
    • Fifth number "1": A bearing shell halve with the color coding blue must be inserted in the bearing cap '5'.

    IMPORTANT The bottom halves of the bearing shells (15) are assigned to the basic journal of the crankshaft by means of the first letter of the respective color.

    The color coding of the bottom halves of the bearing shells is located at the rear of the lower bearing shell halves.

    The initial letters of the particular colors are engraved on the journal of the crankshaft (15). When installing the lower bearing shell halves the order of the colors engraved on the journal of the crankshaft (15) must be observed.

    Example: Assignment of the upper bearing shells halves 

    • Y = YELLOW
    • R = RED
    • Y = YELLOW
    • R = RED
    • Y = YELLOW

  3. Insert upper bearing shell halves (1) with the oil holes (2) and the oil grooves (3) in the cylinder crankcase upper section (7).

    IMPORTANT Ensure that the anti-twist locks (4) on the upper crankshaft bearing shell halves (1) are seated in the cutouts of the cylinder crankcase upper section (7).

  4. Insert lower bearing shell halves into bearing cap or cylinder crankcase lower section (8).

    IMPORTANT Ensure that the anti-twist locks on the lower bearing shell halves are seated in the recesses for the bearing cap or the cylinder crankcase lower section (8).

  5. Insert crankcase (15) into cylinder crankcase upper section (7).
  6. Install upper thrust plates.

    IMPORTANT The oil grooves on the thrust plates must point to the crank webs.

    1. (7.1)  ENGINE 156

      Install bearing caps according to their markings.

      IMPORTANT When installing the fitted bearing cap firmly hold both thrust plates. The anti-twist locks of the thrust plates must sit in the grooves of the fitted bearing cap. The oil grooves of the thrust plate must point towards the crank webs.

    2. (7.2)  ENGINE 159

      Install cylinder crankcase lower section (8).

      IMPORTANT When installing cylinder crankcase lower section (8), hold both thrust plates. The anti-twist locks of the thrust plates must sit in the grooves. The oil grooves of the thrust plate must point towards the crank webs.

  7. Moisten screw/bolts on bearing cap or cylinder crankcase bottom section (8) on thread and bolt head contact surface with oil.
  8. Tighten screw/bolts according to tightening procedure.

    IMPORTANT Observe torque and tightening angle of screw/bolts.

  9. Turn crankshaft (15) to check for unobstructed movement.
