Install the 2 thrust bearings(A) under the No.3 journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing outward.
3.
Install the oil jet (A).
Tightening torque :
24.5 ~ 29.4 N.m (2.5 ~ 3.0 kgf.m, 18.1 ~ 21.7 lb-ft)

4.
Place the crankshaft(A) on the cylinder block.
5.
Place the main bearing caps on cylinder block.
6.
Install the main bearing cap bolts.
  
Always use new crankshaft main bearing cap bolts. Crankshaft main bearing cap bolts are toque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.
  
•
The main bearing cap bolts are tightened in 3 progressive steps.
•
If any of the bearing cap bolts is broken ordeformed, replace it.

Using the SST (09221-4A000), install and uniformly tighten the 10 bearing cap bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Tightening torque :
14.7 N.m (1.5 kgf.m, 10.8 lb-ft) + 27.5 ~ 31.4 N.m (2.8 ~ 3.2 kgf.m, 20.3 ~ 23.1 lb-ft) + 120 ~ 125°

(3)
Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
7.
Check crankshaft end play.
8.
Install piston and connecting rod assemblies.
