Crankshaft bearing oil clearance :#1, 2, 4, 5 : 0.022 - 0.040 mm (0.00087 - 0.00157 in.)#3 : 0.028 - 0.046 mm (0.00110 - 0.00181 in.)
(5)If the measured value of the plastic gauge is out of the specified value, replace bearing with a new one having the same classification color and then remeasure the oil clearance. (Refer to the crankshaft bearing selection table)
• Do not adjust the clearance by machining the bearing or cap.
(6)If the remeasured value is still out the specified value, install the next larger or smaller bearing and then remeasure the oil clearance. (Refer to the crankshaft bearing selection table)
• If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over.
The each size mark of the 5 main journal bores is engraved on the side of cylinder block. Use the journal bore inner diameter mark engraved on the cylinder block and the journal outer diameter mark engraved on the crankshaft for correct bearing selection.
