Tightening torque
No.1~8 : 49.0 N.m (5.0 kgf.m, 36.2 lb-ft) + 90°
No.9~16 : 19.6 N.m (2.0 kgf.m, 14.5 lb-ft)+ 120°
No.17~24 :
29.4 ~ 31.4 N.m (3.0 ~ 3.2 kgf.m, 21.7 ~ 23.1 lb-ft)
Do not turn the crankshaft.
Remove the cap and bearing again, and measure the widest part of the plastigage.
Standard oil clearance :
0.022 ~ 0.040 mm (0.0009 ~ 0.0016 in.)
If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new, complete bearing with the same color mark (select the color as shown in the next column), and recheck the clearance.
Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearings or the caps to adjust clearance.
If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color listed above or below that one), and check clearance again.
If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over.
If the marks are indecipherable because of an accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or detergent.
Crankshaft bore mark location
Letters have been stamped on the block as a mark for the size of each of the 4 main journal bores.
Use them, and the numbers or bar stamped on the crank (marks for main journal size), to choose the correct bearings.

Check crankshaft end play.
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.
Standard end play :
0.10 ~ 0.28 mm (0.0039 ~ 0.0110 in.)
If the end play is greater than maximum, replace the thrust bearings as a set.
