Ensure that the upper halves and the lower halves of the main bearings
are installed with the tabs fitting into the notch in the cylinder block
and the notch in the main bearing cap.

1. Place clean engine oil on the main bearings.

2. Check the clearance of the bearings. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Bearing Clearance -
Check" for the correct procedure.

Tightening sequence

Note: The main bearing caps must be installed with the word "FRONT" and the part number
toward the front of the engine. Each main bearing cap has a number on the bottom surface and
each main bearing must be installed in the corresponding position in the cylinder block.

6. Lubricate the bolts with clean engine oil prior to assembly.

7. Place the main bearing caps into position and install the bolts. Tighten the bolts in the
numerical sequence that is shown above to a torque of 190 ± 14 N·m (140 ± 10 lb ft).

8. Turn the bolts for an additional 180 ± 5 degrees.

9. Check the end play of the crankshaft with Tool (C). The end play must not exceed 0.40 ± 0.23
mm (0.0157 ± 0.0091 inch).

NOTICE

Each counterweight is numbered and must be installed in the same

position as the corresponding number on the crankshaft mounting pad
in order to prevent damage to the crankshaft.

10. Install counterweights (9) and use the correct tightening procedure below.

11. The following procedure is for the installation of the counterweights in G3508 Engines.

a. Ensure that the dowels are in the correct position and install the counterweights on the
crankshaft.

b. Apply 6V-4876 Lubricant to the threads of the bolt, to the shank of the bolt, and to the
seat of the bolt prior to assembly.

c. Tighten the bolts in all of the counterweight to a torque of 200 ± 5 N·m (150 ± 4 lb ft).

d. Loosen the bolts in all of the counterweights.

e. Tighten the bolts in all of the counterweights to a torque of 70 ± 5 N·m (50 ± 4 lb ft).

f. Tighten the bolts in all of the counterweights for an additional 120 ± 5 degrees (1/3 turn).

12. The following procedure is for the installation of the counterweights in G3512 and G3516
Engines.

a. Ensure that the dowels are in the correct position and install the counterweights on the
crankshaft.

b. Apply 6V-4876 Lubricant to the threads of the bolt, to the shank of the bolt, and to the
seat of the bolt prior to assembly.

c. Tighten the bolts in all of the counterweights to a torque of 70 ± 5 N·m (50 ± 4 lb ft).

d. Tighten the bolts in all of the counterweights for an additional 120 ± 5 degrees (1/3 turn).

Note: Refer to the Specifications Module for more information on the crankshaft.

End By: Install the piston cooling jets.
