>> C << Bearing Cap/Bearing Cap Bolt Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Install the bearing caps so that the arrow points to the timing belt side.
Before installing the bearing cap bolts, check that the shank length of each bolt meets the limit. If it exceeds the limit, replace the bolt.
1. Limit (A): 71.1 mm (2.79 inches)

Make a paint mark on the head of each bolt.
Make a paint mark on the bearing cap 90 degree angle from the paint mark made on the bolt in the direction of tightening the bolt.

CAUTION:

If the bolt is overtightened, loosen the bolt completely and then retighten it by repeating the tightening procedure from step 4.
If the bolt is turned less than 90 degree angle, proper fastening performance may not be achieved. Be sure to turn the bolt exactly 90 degree angle.

Turn each bolt 90 degree angle in the tightening sequence specified in step 4, and make sure that the paint marks on the bolt and cap are aligned.
Make sure that the crankshaft turns smoothly and the end play is correct. If the end play exceeds the limit, replace the number 3 crankshaft bearings.
1. Standard value: 0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.002 - 0.009 inch)
