Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
If the crankshaft has been reground or if the crankshaft has been replaced, the height of the piston above the cylinder block must be inspected. It is necessary to remove the cylinder head in order to inspect the height of the piston above the cylinder block.
Clean the crankshaft and inspect the crankshaft for wear or damage. Refer to Specifications, "Crankshaft" for more information. If necessary, replace the crankshaft or recondition the crankshaft.
If necessary, install the crankshaft gear. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Crankshaft Gear - Remove and Install" for the correct procedure.
If necessary, install a new crankshaft timing ring. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Crankshaft Timing Ring - Remove and Install" for the correct procedure.
Ensure that the parent bores for the bearing shells in the cylinder block are clean. Ensure that the threads for the main bearing bolts in the cylinder block are clean and free from damage.
Clean the main bearing shells and the thrust washers. Inspect the main bearing shells and the thrust washers for wear or damage. If necessary, replace the main bearing shells and the thrust washers. Note: If the main bearing shells are replaced, check whether oversize main bearing shells were previously installed. If the thrust washers are replaced, check whether oversize thrust washers were previously installed.
