degrees apart. Average the measurements.
8.
In order to determine the bearing clearance, subtract the aver-
age journal diameter from the average bearing inside diameter.
9.
Compare the crankshaft bearing clearance to the specifica-
tions. See
Engine Specifications 5.0 Litre
10.
If the crankshaft bearing clearances exceeds specifications,
install the new crankshaft bearings as follows:
a.
Measure the crankshaft bearing inside diameter (ID) at the
