- Install the bolts for the rear main bearing cap. Tighten all of the bolts for the main bearing caps to a torque of 98 to 108 N·m (72 to 80 lb ft).
- Rotate the crankshaft in order to ensure that the crankshaft turns freely.
- Check the crankshaft end play. Use a prybar to move the crankshaft toward the front of the engine. Use Tooling (A) to measure the end play. The maximum permissible crankshaft end play is 0.300 mm (0.0118 inch).
End By:
- Install the flywheel housing. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Flywheel Housing - Remove and Install".
- Install the engine oil pan. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pan - Remove and Install".
