Note : Use a paint stick to place an index mark on each of the bolts. Use the index
mark as a reference in order to torque the bolts for an additional angle.

5. Tighten bolts 2 and 4 by an additional angle (A) of 60 ± 5 degrees.

6. Tighten bolts 1 and 3 again to

70 ± 4 N·m (52 ± 3 lb ft).

7. Tighten bolts 1 and 3 by an additional angle (A) of 60 ± 5 degrees.

The connecting rods should be installed in the engine so that the part number of the forging for the rod assembly is
facing the connecting rod that is on the same crankshaft pin. The opposite side of the connecting rods will face the
thrust surface of the crankshaft journal.
