REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION



caution On the flexible flywheel equipped engines, do not remove any of the bolts "A" of the flywheel shown in the illustration. The balance of the flexible flywheel is adjusted in an assembled condition. Removing the bolt, therefore, can cause the flexible flywheel to be out of balance giving and resulting in damage.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS



>>A<< OIL JET INSTALLATION



There are two types of oil jets installed.
one for No.1 and 3 and the other for N0.2 and 4.
Make sure that the correct one is installed with correct direction as shown.

>>B<< CRANKSHAFT BEARING INSTALLATION





1.When the bearing needs replacing, select a proper bearing by the following procedure.
note If the crankshaft is machined to an undersized, bearings for undersized crankshaft should be used and therefore the following selection procedure is unnecessary.
(1) Measure the crankshaft journal diameter and confirm its classification from the following table. In the case of a crankshaft supplied as a service part, identification colors and marks of its journals and painted at the positions shown in the illustration.
(2) The cylinder block bore diameter identification marks are stamped at the position shown in the illustration from front to rear beginning at No.1.
(3) Select proper bearings from the below table on the basis of the identification data confirmed under Items (1) and (2).
Example
  1. If the measured value of a crankshaft journal outer diameter is 65.997 mm, the journal is classified as "1" or "Yellow" in the table. In case the crankshaft is also replaced by a spare part, check the identification colors of the journals painted on the new crankshaft.
  2. Next, check the cylinder block bearing bore identification mark stamped on the cylinder block. If it is "A" read the "Bearing identification mark" column to find the identification mark of the bearing to be used. In this case, it is "1" or "Green"

2.Crankshaft bearing
(1) Install the bearings having an oil groove to the cylinder block.
note The No. 3 bearing integrated with thrust bearing has no oil groove.
(2) Install the bearings having no oil groove to the bearing cap.

3.Crankshaft thrust bearing installation
(1) Install the two thrust bearing in the number 3 bearing bore in the cylinder block. For easier installation, apply engine oil to the bearings; this will help hold them in position.
(2) The thrust bearings must be installed with their groove side toward the crankshaft web.

>>C<< BEARING CAP / BEARING CAP BOLT INSTALLATION




1.Install according to the front mark and cap No.
2.Apply engine oil to the threaded portion and seating face of the bolt.
3.Tighten the bearing cap bolts in the illustrated sequence to 40 ± 2 N·m.

caution
  • When the tightening angle is smaller than the specified tightening angle, the appropriate tightening capacity cannot be secured.
  • When the tightening angle is larger than the specified tightening angle, remove the bolt to start from the beginning again according to the procedure.
4.Using the special tool Angle gauge (MB991614), tighten the bearing cap bolts in the illustrated sequence by a further 35° to 39°.

5.After installing the bearing caps, make sure that the crankshaft turns smoothly and the end play is correct. If the end play exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft bearings.
Standard value: 0.05 - 0.25 mm
Limit: 0.45 mm

>>D<< OIL SEAL INSTALLATION



1.Apply oil to oil seal lips.
2.Using the special tool Oil seal installer (MD992147), Press and fit the oil seal into the oil seal case to have the dimension shown in the illustration.

>>E<< OIL SEAL CASE INSTALLATION


1.Remove completely old FIPG remaining on the rear oil seal case and cylinder block.

2.Apply a bead of FIPG to the surface of the rear oil seal case as shown in the drawing.
Specified sealant:
Three bond 1217G or equivalent
note Be sure to install the case quickly while the sealant is wet (within 15 minutes).
3.Install the oil seal into the cylinder block after applying an appropriate amount of engine oil to the entire circumference of its lip portion.
4.Install the rear oil seal case by tightening its bolts to 11 ± 1 N·m.
note After installation, keep the sealed area away from the oil for approximately one hour.
