3. Also stamp the position numbers on the main bearing caps and the position of the No. 1
bearing on the cooler side of the oil pan mounting flange of the block.
4. Install the main bearing caps in their original positions; refer to section 1.9.3.
NOTICE:
Always check to make sure cooling nozzles are open and aligned
after piston installation. An obstructed, misaligned, bent, or
damaged nozzle may not provide proper piston cooling. A
loosened nozzle may cause a loss of main gallery oil pressure. In
either case, piston overheating or lack of adequate lubrication
may result in severe engine damage.
5. On current non-premium engines with cast iron pistons, install the bolt-on plate over the
oil gallery orifice at the base of each cylinder bore. On premium engines with closed-end
rods and forged steel pistons, install oil spray nozzles into these openings.

6. Install all of the required cup plugs. Use a good grade of non-hardening sealant such as
Loctite 620 (or equivalent). Apply a thin coat of sealant just inside the chamfer where the
plug is to be installed and install using cup plug installation tool set, J 35653 . See
Figure 1-18.

7. Install all of the required pipe plugs. Refer to section 1.A, Engine Plug and Dowel
Charts".
NOTE:
Whenever a pipe plug is removed from the cylinder block, the threads must be coated
with Loctite J 26558-92 pipe sealant with Teflon, or equivalent, before reassembly.
Certain plugs available from the parts depot already have a sealer applied to the
threads. Although unnecessary, this pre-coating will not be affected if pipe sealer with
Teflon is also applied.
