(5) Torque for bolts holding caps for main bearings:

a. Put 2P2506 Thread Lubricant on bolt threads and washer face.

b. Tighten all bolts in number sequence to ... 40 ± 4 N·m (30 ± 3 lb ft)

c. Put a mark on each bolt and cap.

d. Tighten all bolts in number sequence from mark ... 120 ± 5 degrees.

NOTICE

There are holes in the bores for the main bearings, between the cylinders for piston cooling tubes. These holes must have piston cooling tubes or plugs installed or low oil pressure will be the result.
