with the main bearing cap. Install the 19.2 mm
(0.756 in.) bearings in the other positions.

•

Upper bearings have an oil groove and oil holes; lower
bearings do not.

(b) Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the

main bearing cap, and push in the five lower
bearings.

HINT: A number is marked on each main bearing
cap to indicate the installation position.

3. INSTALL UPPER THRUST WASHERS

Install the two thrust washers under the No.3 journal
position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing
outward.

(a) Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the

cylinder block, and push in the five upper bear-
ings.
