2) Next, check bearing cap bore diameter without bearing. On
mating surface of cylinder block, four numerals are stamped as
shown in figure.
Three kinds of numerals (1, 2 and 3) represent following cap
bore diameters.
The first, second, third and fourth (left to right) stamped numer-
als represent cap bore diameters of bearing caps “1”, “2”, “3”
and “4”, respectively.
For example, in figure, the first (leftmost) numeral “1” indicates
that cap bore dia. of bearing cap “1” is within 54.000 – 54.006
mm, and the fourth (rightmost) numeral “2” indicates that cap
bore dia. of cap “4” is within 54.006 – 54.012 mm.
3) There are five kinds of standard bearings differing in thickness.
To distinguish them, they are painted in following colors at the
position as indicated in figure.
Each color indicates following thickness at the center of bear-
ing.
