Section 0 - Engine Disassembly and Assembly - Group 00 Engine Assembly (0-02) M11 Page 0-89 Water Pump/Lube Pump Idler - Installation Caution: The grooved side of the rear thrust bearing must be facing toward the gear to prevent damage to the gear and engine during engine operation. Use Lubriplate W 105, or equivalent, to lubricate the thrust bearings and idler gear shaft. Install the rear thrust bearing. Install the idler gear without the shaft. Align the inside diameter of the rear thrust bearing with the inside diameter of the idler gear. The shaft must pass through the gear and pilot into the rear thrust bearing.
After installation, the shaft must pro- trude only slightly more than the thickness of the front thrust bearing. Excessive shaft protrusion beyond the thickness of the front thrust bearing indicates that the shaft is not properly piloted into the rear thrust bearing. Install the shaft into the gear bore. Caution: The grooved side of the front thrust bearing must be facing toward the gear to prevent damage to the gear and engine during engine operation. Install the front thrust bearing. Install the gear retainer. Install the three retaining capscrews (M10-1.50 x 60) and tighten. Torque Value: 61 [45 ft-lb] plus 60 degrees
