7. CAUTION: Main bearing bolts must be replaced with new bolts. They are torque-to-yield designed and cannot be reused. Tighten new main bearing cap bolts one through ten in two steps as follows:

1. Tighten bolts in sequence to 37-43 Nm (27-31lb-ft) .
2. Rotate bolts in sequence 85-95° .

8. Tighten crankshaft main bearing cap adjusting screws in sequence to 9-11 Nm (80-97 lb-in) .
9. Tighten main bearing cap side bolts in sequence to 19-23 Nm (14-16 lb-ft) .


NOTE: Due to the use of a cracked connecting rod joint face surface, the connecting rod cap must be properly aligned to the connecting rod. The connecting rod and connecting rod cap bearing tangs should be located on the same side of the connecting rod. Install connecting rod cap and lower connecting rod bearing and alternately tighten new connecting rod cap bolts in several passes to obtain 40-45 Nm (30-33 lb-in) and rotate connecting rod bolts an additional 90-120° . After installation, rotate crankshaft to ensure smooth operation.
