NOTICE! Make sure the bolts do not protrude through the back of the flywheel.

 

19 Install the flywheel bolts by hand.

20 Then torque the bolts in three steps (sequence as illustrated).


P0003164.jpg


Step 1: 30 Nm (22.1 lbf. ft.)

Step 2: 60°

Step 3: 60°

 

21 Remove the cranking tool and replace the plug in the flywheel housing.

Main bearing, Change


Tools:

88800014 Rotation tool

Removal

The method describes replacement of main bearings with the crankshaft in place in the Volvo engine.

1 Remove the plug from the flywheel. Install 88800014 Rotation tool.

2 Drain the engine oil.

3 Remove the oil pan.

NOTICE! The oil pan is installed using sealing compound and can therefore be difficult to remove. Use a gasket scraper. To remove the gasket, tap the scraper into the gaps where the bolts were previously located.

 

4 NOTICE! Different bolt lengths (1) and (2). Remove the oil suction pipe.

5 Remove gasket.

6 Replace the main bearings one at a time. Check and mark each bearing cap and undo the

bolts. The bolts may not be reused.

7 Remove the bearing cap (1) with the lower bearing shell. Save the thrust washers (2).

8 Remove the upper bearing shell by putting a pin in the crankshaft oil hole and rolling the bearing shell out by turning the crankshaft in the direction of rotation with a cranking tool.

9 Clean and check the bearing seats, bearing caps and bearing shells. The bearing surfaces must be completely smooth.

Repolish them if there are minor scratches. If a bearing has seized, the cause must be determined before new bearings are installed.

10 Check that the correct bearing dimension is used for replacements.

11 Use a thin plastic or wood stick to remove the thrust washers from the cylinder block bearing

seat.

Installation


12 Check crankshaft end float and replace the thrust washers if clearance is excessive or if the thrust washers are damaged.

 

13 Install the upper bearing shell by turning the crankshaft with a cranking tool against the direction of rotation with the pin in the oil hole.


P0006972.jpg


NOTICE! Check that the pressed bearing shell tab is correctly aligned in the bearing seat notch.

NOTICE! Remove the pin when done.

 

14 Fit the thrust washers according to the measured end float.

NOTICE! Installation orientation: the thrust washer lubrication grooves must face towards the

crankshaft.

15 Install the lower bearing shell in the bearing cap and lubricate it with engine oil.


3407.jpg

 

16 Fix the thrust washer halves (with tabs) to the thrust washer caps (with the aid of a little grease on the tab).

17 Install the main bearing cap (1) together with the lower bearing shell and thrust washers (2).

NOTICE! The main bearing caps are asymmetric and can only be installed in one position.

18 NOTICE! Use new bolts.

Torque tightening and angle tightening of bearing caps in three steps:

Step 1: 50 Nm (36.9 lbf. ft.)

Step 2: 60° (angle tightening)

Step 3: 60° (angle tightening)

19 Replace the other bearing shells, one a time, in the same manner. Check after each bearing is

replaced that the crankshaft does not bind by turning with a cranking tool.

20 Install a new gasket.

21 NOTICE! Different bolt lengths (1) and (2). Install the oil suction pipe. Tightening torque: 30 Nm (22.1 lbf. ft.)


P0015395.jpg


22 Clean the gasket surfaces from gasket residue. Apply sealing compound (part # 1161771).

23 Fit the oil sump.

24 Tightening sequence: Diagonal.

Step 1: 15 Nm (11.1 lbf. ft.)

Step 2: 30 ± 3 Nm (22.1 ± 2.2 lbf ft.)
