Kia Carnival (2009+). Manual — part 205

5. Install main bearings.

Upper bearings have the oil grooves of the oil holes; Lower bearings do not.

(1) Aligning the bearing claw with the claw groove of the cylinder block, push in the 4 upper bearings(A).

(2) Aligning the bearing claw with the claw groove of the main bearing cap, push in the 4 lower bearings(B) on the

bearing caps(A).

6. Install thrust bearings.

Install the 2 thrust bearings(A) under the No.3 journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing
outward.

7. Place crankshaft(A) on the cylinder block.

8. Place main bearing caps on cylinder block.

9. Install main bearing cap bolts.

(1) Install and uniformly tighten the bearing cap bolts, in two steps, in the sequence shown.

Tightening torque
M8 : 12.7~18.6Nm (1.3~1.9kgf.m, 9.4~13.7lb-ft) + 90~95°
M10 : 26.5~32.4Nm (2.7~3.3kgf.m, 19.5~23.9lb-ft) + 90~95°

• Use new main bearing cap bolt with engine oil applied.
• If any of the bearing cap bolts are broken or deformed, replace it.
• Washers have their direction(Up/Down)
• Assemble the bearing cap bridge on which its arrow mark faces the engine front.
• Before tightening, make the bearing caps be seated on the block firmly.

Use SST( 09221-4A000 ), install main bearing cap bolts.

(2) Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.

10. Check crankshaft end play.

11. Install the piston and connecting rod assemblies.

• Before installing the pistons, apply a coat of engine oil to the ring grooves and cylinder bores.
• When installing the piston, ensure that the coat on the cylinder wall is not damaged or scratched.

(1) Install the ring compressor, check that the bearing is securely in place, then position the piston in the cylinder,

and tap it in using the wooden handle of a hammer.

(2) Stop inserting the piston when the ring inserted in the cylinder and check the alignment of the journal and the

connecting rod.

(3) Apply engine oil to the bolt threads. Install the rod caps with bearings, and torque the bolts.

Tightening torque
17.7~21.6Nm (1.8~2.2kgf.m, 13.0~15.9lb-ft) + 90~94°

• Always use new connecting rod bolts.
• Maintain downward force on the ring compressor to prevent the rings from expanding before entering

the cylinder bore.

• Use SST(09221-4A000), install connecting rod bearing cap bolts.

12. Install the rear oil seal case.

Tightening torque
9.80 ~ 11.76Nm (1.0 ~ 1.2kgf.m, 7.23 ~ 8.67lb-ft)

(1) Make clean the sealing face before assembling two parts.

• Remove harmful foreign materials on the sealing face before applying sealant
• Apply sealant to the inner threads of the bolt holes.
