  1. With a manual transmission, install the crankshaft end bushing when replacing the crankshaft. Using the special tools, drive in the crankshaft end bushing until the special tools bottom against the crankshaft.
  2. Check the connecting rod bearing clearance with plastigage (see CONNECTING ROD BEARING REPLACEMENT ).
  3. Check the main bearing clearance with plastigage (see MAIN BEARING CLEARANCE INSPECTION ).
  4. Inspect the connecting rod bolts (see CONNECTING ROD BOLT INSPECTION ).
  5. Install the bearing halves in the engine block and connecting rods.
  6. Apply a coat of new engine oil to the main bearings and rod bearings.
  7. Hold the crankshaft so rod journal No. 2 and rod journal No. 3 are straight up, then lower the crankshaft into the block.
  8. Install the thrust washers (A) in the No. 4 journal of the engine block.
  9. Apply engine oil to the threads of the connecting rod bolts.
  10. Seat the rod journals into connecting rod No. 1 and connecting rod No. 4. Line up the mark (B) on the connecting rod and cap, then install the caps and bolts finger-tight.
  11. 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 cap, then install the caps and bolts finger-tight.
  12. Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 20 N.m (2.0 kgf.m, 14 lbf.ft).
  13. Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 90°. NOTE: Remove the connecting rod bolt if you tightened it beyond the specified angle, and go back to step 4 . of the procedure. Do not loosen it back to the specified angle.
  14. Remove any old liquid gasket from the lower block mating surfaces, bolts, and bolt holes.
  15. Clean and dry the lower block mating surfaces.
  16. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0002, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the engine block mating surface of the lower block. NOTE: Do not install components if too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket (for P/N 08718-0002, no more than 4 minutes, for all others, no more than 5 minutes). Instead, remove the old residue and reapply the liquid gasket.
  17. Put the lower block on the engine block.
  18. Tighten the bearing cap bolts in sequence to 29 N.m (3.0 kgf.m, 22 lbf.ft).
  19. Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 56°.
  20. Tighten the 8 mm bolts in sequence to 22 N.m (2.2 kgf.m, 16 lbf.ft).
  21. Use the special tools to drive a new oil seal squarely into the block to the specified installed height.
  22. Measure the distance between the crankshaft (A) and oil seal (B). Oil Seal Installed Height: 5.5-6.5 mm (0.22-0.26 in.)
  23. Install the baffle plates.
  24. Install the oil pump (see x OIL PUMP INSTALLATION ).
  25. Install the oil pan (see OIL PAN INSTALLATION ).
  26. Install the cylinder head (see CYLINDER HEAD INSTALLATION ).
  27. Install the transmission: Manual transmission (see TRANSMISSION INSTALLATION ) Automatic transmission (see TRANSMISSION INSTALLATION )
  28. Install the engine assembly (see ENGINE INSTALLATION ).

  1. Remove any old liquid gasket from the oil pan mating surfaces, bolts, and bolt holes.
  2. Clean and dry the oil pan mating surfaces.
  3. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004,08718-0001, 08718-0002,08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the engine block mating surface of the oil pan. NOTE: Do not install components if too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket (for P/N 08718-0002, no more than 4 minutes, for all others, no more than 5 minutes). Instead, remove the old residue and reapply the liquid gasket.
  4. Install the oil pan.
  5. Tighten the bolts in two or three steps. In the final step, tighten all bolts, in sequence, to 12 N.m (1.2 kgf.m, 8.7 lbf.ft).
  6. Install the stiffener (M/T).
  7. If the engine is still in the vehicle, install the subframe. 1 Support the subframe with the special tool and a jack, and lift it up to body, then loosely install the new subframe mounting bolts (see step 4 on ENGINE INSTALLATION ) 2 Align the reference marks with the center of the subframe mounting bolts, then tighten the bolts to the specified torque (see step 6 on ENGINE INSTALLATION ). 3 Install the ATF filter mounting bolt (see step 25 on ENGINE INSTALLATION ). 4 Tighten the rear mount mounting bolts (see step 7 on ENGINE INSTALLATION ). 5 Tighten the new front mount mounting bolt (see step 13 on ENGINE INSTALLATION ). 6 Connect the suspension lower arm ball joints (see step 10 on KNUCKLE AND HUB REPLACEMENT ).
  8. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
