NOTE:
Before assembling the cylinder block, all sealing surfaces must be free of chips, dirt, paint and foreign material. Also, make sure the coolant and oil passages are clear.
NOTE:

NOTE:
The oil groove on the thrust washer must face toward the front of the engine (against the crankshaft thrust surface).
NOTE:
The oil groove on the thrust washer must face toward the front of the engine (against the crankshaft surface).
NOTE:
To aid in assembly, apply petroleum jelly to the back of the crankshaft thrust washer.
NOTE:
The oil groove on the thrust washer must face toward the rear of the engine (crankshaft surface).
CAUTION:
Do not scratch the cylinder walls or crankshaft journals with the connecting rod.
NOTE:
The following piston installation steps are for all 8 connecting rods, rod bearings and pistons. Only one connecting rod, rod bearing and piston is shown.
CAUTION:
Do not scratch the cylinder walls or crankshaft journals with the connecting rod.
CAUTION:
The rod cap installation must keep the same orientation as marked during disassembly.
NOTE:
The connecting rod caps are of the ' 'cracked" design and must mate with the connecting rod ends. Excessive bearing clearance will result if not mated correctly.
NOTE:
Main bearing caps are removed for clarity.
CAUTION:
Make sure the O-ring is in place and not damaged. A missing or damaged O-ring can cause foam in the lubrication system, low oil pressure and severe engine damage.
NOTE:
Clean and inspect the mating surfaces and install a new O-ring. Lubricate the O-ring with clean engine oil prior to installation.
CAUTION:
Make sure all coolant residue and foreign material are cleaned from the block surface and cylinder bore.
CAUTION:
The use of sealing aids (aviation cement, copper spray, and glue) is not permitted. The gasket must be installed dry.
CAUTION:
The cylinder head bolts must be discarded and new bolts installed. They are tighten-to-yield designed and cannot be reused.
NOTE:
Do not turn the crankshaft until instructed to do so.

CAUTION:
Timing chain procedures must be followed exactly or damage to valves and pistons will result.
CAUTION:
Prior to installation, inspect the tensioner-sealing bead for seal integrity. If cracks, tears, separation from the tensioner body or permanent compression of the seal bead is observed, install a new tensioner.
NOTE:
Make sure the upper half of the timing chain is below the tensioner arm dowel.
NOTE:
The LH timing chain tensioner arm has a bump near the dowel hole for identification.
NOTE:
The lower half of the timing chain must be positioned above the tensioner arm dowel.
