Install new connecting bolt and nuts, tighten up to 25 nm (18 lb ft) evenly the first time and use the j 45059 to tighten another 100 degrees on the final pass. Check the connecting rod side clearance with feeler gauge (0.070-0.370 mm, 0.0027-0.0145 in). Finally, install the Cylinder Head and the Oil Pan.
