SMCS - 1202, 1204 SENR21350039
Remove Crankshaft & Gear
Start By:
a. remove flywheel housing
b. remove valve lifters
c. remove pistons & connecting rod assemblies
d. remove timing gear cover & oil pump
1. Fasten a suitable lifting device, and put the engine in position on Tool (A).
2. Turn crankshaft (3) until the timing mark on the crankshaft gear is in alignment with the timing
mark on the camshaft gear.
NOTE: For more detail about removal of main bearings, see the topic, "Remove & Install
Crankshaft Main Bearings" in this manual.
3. Remove bolts (1) and main bearing caps (2). Remove the lower halves of the main bearings from
the caps.
4. Install two of the bolts that hold the flywheel in place in the end of the crankshaft.

NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the crankshaft journals when the
crankshaft is removed.
5. Fasten a suitable lifting device, and remove crankshaft (3) from the engine. Weight of the
crankshaft is 54 kg (120 lb).
6. Remove the upper halves of the main bearings from the cylinder block.
7. Install Tooling (B), and remove the gear from the crankshaft.
Install Crankshaft & Gear
1. Install the key for the crankshaft gear so it is even with the end of the crankshaft.
2. Heat the crankshaft gear to a maximum temperature of 260°C (500°F). Install the gear on the
crankshaft with the timing mark on the gear toward the pulley end of the crankshaft.
3. Install the thrust bearing for the No. 4 main.
4. Install the upper main bearings (the bearings with oil hole) into the engine block.
5. Install two of the bolts that hold the flywheel in place in the end of the crankshaft. Fasten a
suitable lifting device, and put the crankshaft in position in the block. Make sure the timing mark on
the crankshaft gear is in alignment with the timing mark on the camshaft gear.
NOTICE
When the bearing caps are installed, make sure the number on
the side of the cap is next to and respective with the number on
the engine block.
6. Put 4C-5593 Thread Lubricanton the bolt threads and washer faces. Put clean engine oil on the
main bearings. Put the bearing caps in position, and install the bolts. Tighten the bolts in number
sequence as follows:
a. Tighten bolts 1 through 10 to a torque of 40 ± 4 N·m (30 ± 3 lb ft).
b. Put a mark on each bolt head and bearing cap. Tighten bolts 1 through 10 120 ± 5 degreesmore.
7. Install indicator group (A), and check the end play of the crankshaft. The end play is controlled by
the thrust bearing on No. 4 main bearing. The end play with new bearings must be 0.08 ± 0.25 mm
(.003 to .010 in). The maximum permissible end play with a used bearing is 0.36 mm (.014 in).
