CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL BEARING
NOTE: Do not interchange the crankshaft journal
bearings. To obtain the correct crankshaft-journal-to-
crankshaft-journal-bearing clearance and prevent
engine damage, the crankshaft journal bearings must
be installed in their original positions.
1. Clean the crankshaft journal bearings, crankshaft jour-
nals, and bearing portions of the crankcase. Place the
upper crankcase upside down on a bench.
2. Install the journal bearings into the upper engine case.
NOTE: Make sure the tabs of the bearings are properly
seated to the notches in the upper engine case.
SNO-298
3. Put a piece of Plastigauge® on each crankshaft journal.
SNO-320A
NOTE: Do not put the Plastigauge® over the oil hole in
the crankshaft journal.
4. Install the crankshaft journal lower bearings into the
lower crankcase and assemble the crankcase halves.
NOTE: Do not move the crankshaft until the clearance
measurement has been completed.
5. Tighten the cap screws in the order of the embossed
numbers on the crankcase; then remove the lower
crankcase and the crankshaft journal lower bearings.
6. Measure the compressed Plastigauge® width on each
crankshaft journal.
SNO-320A
7. If the clearance is out of specification, select replace-
ment crankshaft journal bearings.
NOTE: The numbers stamped into the crankshaft web
and the numbers stamped into the lower crankcase are
used to determine the replacement crankshaft journal
bearing sizes.
SNO-322
NOTE: “J1 - J4” refer to the bearings shown in the
crankshaft web and lower crankcase illustration. If “J1 -
J4” are the same, use the same size for all of the bear-
ings.
For example: if the crankcase “J1” and crankshaft web “J1”
numbers are “6” and “1” respectively, the bearing size for “J1”
is: J1 (crankcase) – J1 (crankshaft web) + 2 = 6 – 1 + 2 = 7.
