CRANKSHAFT/PISTON/CYLINDER
Letters (A, B, C or
D) on the crank
weight are the
crankpin O.D.
codes from left to
right.
If you are replacing the crankshaft, record the
corresponding crankpin O.D. code letter [1].
If you are reusing the crankshaft, measure the crankpin
O.D. with a micrometer.
Cross-reference the connecting rod and crankpin codes
to determine the replacement bearing color code [1].
CRANKPIN BEARING SELECTION TABLE:
After selecting new bearings, recheck the clearance
with a plastigauge. Incorrect clearance can cause
severe engine damage.
BEARING INSTALLATION
Clean the bearing outer surfaces, crankpin bearing cap
and connecting rod.
Install the crankpin bearings [1] onto the bearing cap
