Hummer H2. Manual - part 1857

4. Tighten the M8 bolts to 25 N.m (18 lb ft). 

Tighten the bolt on one side of the bearing cap and then tighten the bolt on the opposite side of the 
same bearing cap.

11. Install the CKP sensor. 

1. Inspect the CKP sensor O-ring seal. If the O-ring seal is not cut or damaged, it may be used.  

2. Coat the O-ring seal with clean engine oil.  

3. Install the sensor. Align the notch in the sensor retaining bracket with the bolt hole in the block.  

4. Install the sensor bolt.

12. Measure the crankshaft end play. 

1. Thrust the crankshaft forward or rearward.  

2. Insert a feeler gauge between the center crankshaft bearing and the bearing surface of the 

crankshaft and measure the bearing clearance. 

The proper crankshaft end play clearance is 0.04-0.2 mm (0.0015-0.0078 in). 

3. If the bearing clearance is not within specifications, inspect the thrust surfaces for nicks, gouges or 

raised metal. Minor imperfections may be removed with a fine stone.

1. With a micrometer at a right angle, measure the piston outside diameter (OD). Measure the diameter 43 

mm (1.69 in) from the top of the piston. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications .  

IMPORTANT: Measurements of all components should be taken with the components at 

normal room temperature. For proper piston fit, the engine block cylinder 
bores must not have excessive wear or taper. A used piston, pin, and 
connecting rod assembly may be installed if, after inspection is within 
specifications.
