(1) Do NOT reuse connecting rod cap bolts. Use new bolt. Oil bolt threads and mating areas. Do NOT tighten the bolt more than 3 times.
(2) Tighten main bearing cap bolts evenly in 4 to 5 stages before they are tightened to the final torque.
(3) Tighten in sequence with engine cold. See Figure.
(4) For engine and transaxle mount identification, see Figure.
(5) See OIL PUMP  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION for bolt identification and tightening specifications.
(6) Coat oil pressure switch threads with Three Bond No. 1104E, or equivalent.
