Engine - 4.6L 2V: Assembly: Engine: Assembly: Notes

CAUTION: If the supply manifold is used as a leverage device, damage can occur to the supply manifold. Care must be taken when working around the fuel supply manifold.

NOTE: Before engine assembly, use metal surface cleaner and a suitable plastic or wooden scraper to clean the sealing surfaces. All sealing surfaces must be clean. Make sure coolant and oil passages are clear.

NOTE: During engine assembly, it may become necessary to check bearing clearances and end play. For additional information, refer to ENGINE SYSTEM-GENERAL INFORMATION .

Read the first character code information on the cylinder block face (1) and record the information.

Using the data recorded earlier and the Bearing Select Fit Chart, Standard Bearings chart determine the required bearing grade for each main bearing.
- Read the first letter of the engine block main bearing code and the first letter of the crankshaft main bearing code.
- Read down the column below the engine block main bearing code letter, and across the row next to the crankshaft main bearing code letter, until the two intersect. This is the required bearing grade for the number one crankshaft main bearing.
- As an example, if the engine block code letter is "F" and the crankshaft code letter is "D", the correct bearing grade for this main bearing is a "2".
- Repeat this process for the remaining four main bearings.
