with new standard bearing selected.
If clearance still exceeds its limit, use next
thicker bearing and recheck clearance.
6) When replacing crankshaft or cylinder block .
due to any reason, select new standard
bearings to be installed by referring to the
numerals stamped on new crankshaft or the
alphabets stamped on the mating surface of
new cylinder block.
