NOTE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, may cause engine failure.
NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components. These inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the engine components will require replacement. Refer to ENGINE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION .
NOTE: If the cylinder head(s) is replaced, a new secondary timing chain tensioner will need to be installed.

    Torque: 35 lb.in (4 Nm)

    GFD553475Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
  2. NOTE: This step is for selecting the correct main bearings.
    NOTE: The #1 main bearing is at the front of the engine block.

    • Select the crankshaft main bearings for each crankshaft journal.

    • Record the code that is on the cylinder block face.

    • Record the code that is on the crankshaft flange.

    • The first letter is for main No. 1 and the next letters are for mains 2, 3 and 4.

    GFD553523Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
  3. NOTE: This chart is continued in the next step.
    NOTE: This chart is for selecting main bearings 1 and 4 only.

    • Using the data recorded earlier and the Bearing Select Fit Chart, Standard Bearings, determine the required bearing grade for main bearings 1 and 4.

    • 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 2 intersect. This is the required bearing grade(s) for the No. 1 crankshaft main bearing.

    • As an example, if the engine block code letter is "M" and the crankshaft code letter is "M", the correct bearing grade for this main bearing is a "2" for the upper bearing and a "2" for the lower bearing.

    • Repeat the above steps using the fourth letter of the block and crankshaft codes to select the No. 4 bearing.

    • Using the data recorded earlier and the Bearing Select Fit Chart, Standard Bearings, determine the required bearing grade for main bearings 2 and 3.

    • Read the second letter of the engine block main bearing code and the second 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 2 intersect. This is the required bearing grade for the No. 2 crankshaft main bearing.

    • As an example, if the engine block code letter is "N" and the crankshaft code letter is "H", the correct bearing grade for this main bearing is "2".

    • Repeat the above steps using the third letter of the block and crankshaft codes to select the No. 3.
