Crankshaft Main Bearings

SMCS - 1219-10

Remove And Install Crankshaft Main Bearings

start by:

a) remove oil pump

1. Check the main bearing caps for identification for their location and direction in the block. The caps must
be installed in the same location and direction from which they were removed.

2. Remove No. 2 through No. 6 bearing caps (1). Remove thrust bearings from No. 4 main bearing cap.

3. Remove the upper halves of main bearings by putting tool (A) in oil hole (2) in the crankshaft. Turn the
crankshaft in the direction which will push the end of the bearing with a tab out first.

NOTICE
If the crankshaft is turned in the wrong direction, the tab of the
bearing will be pushed between the crankshaft and cylinder block. This
can cause damage to either or both.

4. Remove the lower halves of the bearings from the caps.

5. Install new bearings in the caps. Put clean engine oil on the bearings.

6. Put clean engine oil on the upper halves of the bearings. Install the upper halves of the bearings in the
cylinder block with tool (A).

NOTE: Be sure tabs (3) on the back of the bearings fit in the grooves of the caps and cylinder block.

7. Check the bearing clearance with wire (B). Put wire (B) on the bearings.

NOTE: Be sure the main bearing caps are installed so the numbers on the side of the cylinder block are the
same as the numbers on the bearing caps, and the arrows (4) on the bearing caps are toward the front of the
cylinder block.

8. Install the bearing caps for No. 2 through No. 6. Put clean engine oil on the bolts. Install the bolts and
tighten bolts, at end, with tab first, to a torque of 190 ± 10 lb.ft. (26.2 ± 1.4 mkg). Turn the bolts an extra
120° ± 5° first at the end opposite of the tab. Remove the bearing caps for No. 2 through No. 6. Remove wire
(B) from the caps. Check the thickness of wire (B) to find the bearing clearance. The bearing clearance must
be .0037 to .0068 in. (0.093 to 0.172 mm) with new bearings. Maximum clearance with used bearings is .010
in. (0.35 mm).

9. Put clean engine oil on the threads of the bolts. Install the bearing caps for No. 2 through No. 6. Install the
bolts and tighten the bolts, at the end with the tab first, to a torque of 190 ± 10 lb.ft. (26.2 ± 1.4 mkg). Put a
mark on the bolts and caps. Turn the bolts at opposite end of tab first an extra 120° ± 5° from the mark.

10. Remove the No. 1 and No. 7 main bearing caps. Do Steps 3 through 9 for the No. 1 and No. 7 caps.

11. Install the thrust bearings for No. 4 main bearing.

NOTE: Install the thrust bearings with the side marked "BLOCK SIDE" toward the cylinder block.

12. Check the end play of the crankshaft with tool group (C). Be sure the dial indicator is against a machined
surface. The end play is controlled by the thrust bearings of No. 4 (center) main. The end play with new
bearings must be .006 to .020 in. (0.152 to 0.508 mm). The maximum permissible end play with used
bearings is .035 in. (0.89 mm).

a) install oil pump
