Oil the new bearings or the surface or the crank and set it in place.
Insert the other half the the bearing shells into the bearing caps and place them onto the crank. The bearing shell tangs should be on the same side, top and bottom.
Note that each main cap has a number stamped into it from 1 to 7. Make sure they stay in that order with number 1 at the front of the block and 7 at the rear. Number 5 should have the other halves of the thrush washers installed. Again the oiling grooves to the outside.

Here we are ready to put the bolts in. Tighten all the bolts to 55 nm and then tighten them again another 90 degrees.
