Oil Seal

Installation

The seal surface on the block should be dry.
Apply a light coat of oil to the crankshaft and to the lip of seal.
Crankshaft F-- Installation -
1. Using the special tool, drive flywheel-end seal into the right side cover.

2. Confirm clearance is equal all the way around with a feeler gauge.
Clearance: 0.2-0.8 mm (0.01 -0.03 in)


NOTE: Refer to page 8-13 for installation of the oil pump side oil seal.
Before installing the crankshaft, apply a coat of engine oil to the main bearings and rod bearings.
1. Insert bearing halves in the engine block and connecting rods.
2. Hold the crankshaft so rod journals for cylinders No. 2 and No. 3 are straight down.
3. Lower the crankshaft into the block, seating the rod journals into connecting rods No. 2 and No. 3, and install the rod caps and nuts finger-tight.

4. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise, seat journals into connecting rods No. 1 and No. 4, and install the rod caps and nuts finger-tight.

NOTE: Install caps so the bearing recess is on the same side as the recess in the rod.

5. Check rod bearing clearance with plastigage (page 7-7), then torque the capnuts.

NOTE: Reference numbers on connecting rod are for big-end bore tolerance and do not indicate the position of piston in the engine.

6. Install the thrust washers on the No. 4 journal. Oil the thrust washer surfaces.
