Crankshaft
• The crankshaft are classified in three classes: there are
three classes for the connecting rod journals and three
classes for the main journals.
• The crankshaft journal sizes are stamped on the rear
flyweight for both the connecting rod journals and the
main journals.
• Six digits for the connecting rods and seven digits for
the mains.
• The crankshaft may have been ground -
0.127 mm
un-
dersize from the factory. A (1) preceding the six digits
is a standard crankshaft, a (2) preceding is for a crank-
shaft that has been ground undersize.
• The main bearing bores in the block are classed 1,2,or 3
and are located on the rear of the block lower right hand
side. If the classifications are not found, the crankshaft
must be measured and classified for each journal.
