(1) Bore in connecting rod for piston pin bearing ... 130.000 ± 0.015 mm (5.1181 ± 0.0006 inch)
The piston pin bearing may be installed in the connecting rod by using either of the following
methods:
1. Lower the temperature of the piston pin bearing before installing the piston pin bearing in
the connecting rod. This is the preferred method of installation.
Minimum temperature to cool piston pin bearing ... −90°C (−130°F)

2. Raise the temperature of the piston pin end of the connecting rod before installing the
bearing. This must be for a minimum length of 250 mm (10 inch). Raise the temperature
evenly. Raise the temperature thoroughly. This is the alternative method.
Note: Do not use a torch to heat the connecting rod.
Heat the connecting rod to the following temperature. ... 190° ± 15°C (374° ± 27°F)
(2) Bore in piston pin bearing for new piston pin ... 120.114 ± 0.008 mm (4.7289 ± 0.0003 inch)
Diameter of new piston pin ... 119.994 ± 0.006 mm (4.7242 ± 0.0002 inch)
Tight fit between connecting rod and piston pin bearing ... 0.120 to 0.180 mm (0.0047 to 0.0071
inch)
Note: Assemble the piston pin retainer so the word "OUT" is visible.
Positioning piston pin bearing
Note: The bearing junction and the locating hole are 180 degrees across from each other. The
bearing junction and the locating hole must be assembled within area (A). Area (A) is 90 ± 15
degrees from the centerline through the connecting rod bores.
(3) Bore in bearing for crankshaft ... 216.145 to 216.306 mm (8.5096 to 8.5160 inch)
(4) Bore in connecting rod for bearing ... 225.000 + 0.025 mm to − 0.065 mm (8.8582 + 0.0009
inch to − 0.0025 inch)
Total allowed runout ... 0.066 mm (0.0026 inch)
Clearance between bearing and crankshaft ... 0.171 to 0.282 mm (0.0067 to 0.0111 inch)
(5) Distance between center of bearings ... 600.00 mm (23.622 inch)
Reuse Information for the Connecting Rod Bolts

Inspect connecting rod bolts at each service of the connecting rod bearings. There should be no
fretting on the shank of the connecting rod bolt. This includes the knurled area of the connecting
rod bolts. Ensure that the connecting rod bolts meet the guidelines for reusable parts. Refer to
Guidelines For Reusable Parts, SEBF8063, "Visual Inspection Of Connecting Rods". Do not
reuse the nuts.
This illustration identifies dimension (X) for the connecting rod bolt.
Do not reuse a connecting rod bolt if dimension (X) is more than 329.00 mm (12.953 inch).
Tightening Procedure for Connecting Rod Bolts

Note: Connecting rod bolt (1) and connecting rod bolt (2) are on the same side of the connecting
rod as the raised bosses and the tab slots for the connecting rod bearing.
This illustration identifies the connecting rod bolts and nuts.
1. Use 334-0519 Molylube Anti-Seize Lubricant to lubricate the threads of the bolts, of the
nuts, and the seating face of the nut after the bolt for the connecting rod is installed in the
connecting rod.
Note: This torque procedure was developed with 334-0519 Molylube Anti-Seize Lubricant.
The use of any other lubricant may result in an incorrect torque value and in subsequent
failure of the connecting rod bolt.
2. Turn all four nuts by hand until the nuts contact the face of the cap. No resistance should be
felt that would indicate thread damage or debris in the joint. Threading the nuts by hand
provides an opportunity to identify problems with the threads. If the nuts and/or bolts cannot
be threaded by hand, the nuts and/or bolts must be replaced. Do not use a impact wrench to
install the nuts up to the face of the cap.
3. Tighten nuts (1), (4), (2), and (3) .
Torque ... 105 ± 15 N·m (75 ± 10 lb ft)
4. Tighten nuts (1), (4), (2), and (3) .
Torque ... 375 ± 15 N·m (277 ± 11 lb ft)
5. Without loosening the nuts, tighten the nuts for the second time in the following order: nut
(2), nut (3), nut (1) and nut (4) .
Torque ... 375 ± 15 N·m (277 ± 11 lb ft)
6. Tighten the nuts again in the following order: nut (1), nut (4), nut (2) and nut (3) .
Turn the nuts in a clockwise direction. ... 180 ± 5 degrees
