a. Remove dust, dirt, and engine oil on the bearing mating sur-
faces of cylinder block and main bearing cap.
b. Install thrust bearings to the both sides of No. 3 journal housing
on cylinder block and main bearing cap.
Install thrust bearings with the oil groove facing to the crank-
shaft arm (outside).
Install bearing with a projection on one end on cylinder block,
and bearing with a projection at center on cap. Align each pro-
jection with mating notch.

sponding bearing are aligned.

smoothly.

because it is machined together with cylinder block.
