  1. M/T model: Install the crankshaft end bushing when replacing the crankshaft. Using the driver handle and the bearing driver attachment, drive in the crankshaft end bushing until the bearing driver attachment bottom against the crankshaft.
  1. Install the bearing halves in the engine block and the connecting rods.
  1. Apply a coat of new engine oil to the main bearings and the rod bearings.
  1. Install the crankshaft position (CKP) pulse plate (A).
  1. Hold the crankshaft (B) so rod journal No. 2 and rod journal No. 3 are straight up, and lower the crankshaft into the engine block. Be careful not to damage the journals and the CKP pulse plate.
  1. Apply new engine oil to the thrust washer surfaces. Install the thrust washers (A) in the No. 4 journal of the engine block.
  1. Apply new engine oil to the threads of the connecting rod bolts.
  1. Seat the rod journals into connecting rod No. 1 and connecting rod No. 4. Line up the mark (B) on the connecting rod and the cap, then install the caps and the bolts finger-tight.
  1. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise, and seat the journals into connecting rod No. 2 and connecting rod No. 3. Line up the mark on the connecting rod and the cap, then install the caps and the bolts finger-tight.
  1. Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 41 N·m (4.2 kgf·m, 30 lbf·ft).
  1. Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 120 °.
    NOTE: Remove the connecting rod bolt if you tightened it beyond the specified angle, and go back to Step 9 of the procedure. Do not loosen it back to the specified angle.
  1. Remove the all of the old liquid gasket from the lower block mating surfaces, the bolts, and the bolt holes.
  1. Clean and dry the lower block mating surfaces.
  1. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08C70-K0234M, 08C70-K0334M, or 08C70-X0331S) to the engine block mating surface of the lower block and to the inner threads of the bolt holes.
    NOTE:
    • Apply liquid gasket about 3 mm (0.12 in.) diameter bead along the broken line (A).
    • Do not install components if 5 minutes or more have passed after applying the liquid gasket. Instead, remove the old residue and reapply the liquid gasket.
  1. Put the lower block on the engine block.
  1. Apply new engine oil to the threads of the bearing cap bolts. Tighten the bearing cap bolts in sequence, to 29 N·m (3.0 kgf·m, 22 lbf·ft).
  1. Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 48 °.
  1. Tighten the 8 mm bolts in sequence to 22 N·m (2.2 kgf·m, 16 lbf·ft).
  1. Use the driver handle and the oil seal bearing driver attachment to drive a new crankshaft oil seal squarely into the engine block to the specified installed height.
  1. Measure the distance between the engine block (A) and the crankshaft oil seal (B).
    Crankshaft Oil Seal Installed Height:
    0.2−1.2 mm (0.001−0.047 in.)

  1. Install the baffle plate.
  1. Install the harness holder (A).
  1. Connect the CKP sensor connector (B), then install the CKP sensor cover (C).
  1. Install the transmission:
  1. NOTE: Whenever any crankshaft or connecting rod bearing is replaced, run the engine at idle speed until it reaches normal operating temperature, then continue to run it for about 15 minutes.
