CRANKSHAFT BEARING CAPSExamine crankshaft front and rear bearing caps andreplace if cracked. Check seal diameter of rear cap. Ifdiameter is not within dimension listed inSPECIFICATIONS in this Section, the rear cap must bereplaced.Only compressors which have ball rear main bearingsand are oiled through the rear of the crankshaft have aseal and spring or bowed washer. If bowed washer orspring is worn, it must be replaced.CRANKCASEInspect crankcase for damage and replace if anydamage is noted. Also inspect studs (if used) andreplace any that are bent or damaged.SEALS AND GASKETSReplace all seals and gaskets. Never re-use anygaskets or seals.ASSEMBLYApply a coat of engine oil to crankshaft, bearings,connecting rod bearings, pistons and cylinder block bore.CRANKSHAFT AND BEARINGS1.Position the crankcase in an arbor presssupporting the crankcase on the rear end capsurface. Install the front bearing in thecrankcase. Press the bearing into the crankcaseso it extends outside the crankcase about .3929cms (.135 in.) (Figure 8). Do not apply pressureto the inner race only.2.Position the crankcase/bearing assembly in thearbor press supporting the assembly on theinner race of the bearing. Install the crankshaftinto the bearing. Press the crankshaft into thebearing applying force to the rear of thecrankshaft until the inner race of the bearing isseated firmly against the shoulder of thecrankshaft. Care must be taken not to damagethe oil sealing surface on the rear of thecrankshaft.3.With the assembly still in the arbor press, placethe rear bearing on the crankshaft. Press thebearing onto the crankshaft and into thecrankcase applying force to both the inner andouter race of the bearing until the inner race isseated firmly against the shoulder of thecrankshaft.CRANKSHAFT BEARING CAPS1.Apply a thin coat of Loctite Gasket Eliminator(purple) around the perimeter of the front bearingcap oil seal. The coating must be light yet coverthe seal fit area.2.Press a new seal into front bearing cap. Lip ofseal must face towards the crankcase wheninstalled.The seal case must be flush to .0127 cm (.005in.) below the front of the cap.3.Position a new gasket over crankshaft betweencrankcase and bearing cap.4.Position bearing cap over end of crankshafttaking care not to damage oil seal.5.Pull bearing cap into place by alternatelytightening the four bolts. Tighten bolts tospecified torque listed in TORQUE CHART inthis Section.6.Position new gasket over crankshaft betweencrankcase and rear bearing cap.7.Place bowed washer or spring in bearing cap sothat the outside diameter of washer contactsbottom of hole in bearing cap. Place seal in rearof end cap and lubricate with engine oil.8.Slide rear bearing cap over rear of ball bearingtaking care that bowed washer or spring andseal do not fall out of cap.9.Pull bearing cap into place by alternatelytightening the four bolts. Torque bolts tospecified torque listed in TORQUE CHART inthis Section.CYLINDER BLOCKPlace a new cylinder block to crankcase gasket oncrankcase; then position the cylinder block on gasket.Install six bolts and lock washers. Tighten two centerbolts to 10.847 N-m (8 Ib-ft) prior to tightening the fourend bolts. Increase bolt torque to specified torque,tightening center bolts first, then the four end bolts.PISTONS AND CONNECTING RODS1.Position connecting rod in piston; then presspiston pin in place. Install snap rings in piston atboth ends of piston pin (Figure 7).2.Install two compression rings in each of the twogrooves and two oil rails and expander in bottomgroove (Figure 7).Compression rings must be installed withsurface marked "TOP" facing top of piston.Some compression rings may have dots toindicate top of ring.3.Position connecting rod bearing inserts in rodand bearing cap, making sure that the locatinglips on inserts engage the locking notches in rodand cap. Insure that arrows on caps and rodmatch as shown in Figure 12. Also, make surethat the rod cap is installed on rod from which itwas removed.4.Remove connecting rod bearing cap with insertfrom rod assembly. Stagger ring gaps in eachring groove by about 180 degrees. Use a ringcompressor and insert piston so that the top ofthe piston is flush with top of block.CTS-4077YPage 10
