[Example]
If the measured value of a crankshaft pin outer diameter
is 44.996 mm, the pin is classified as “1” in the table.
In case the crankshaft is also replaced by a spare part,
check the identification colors of the pins painted on the
new crankshaft. If the color is yellow, for example, the
pin is classified as “1”. In the above cases, select the
connection rod bearing having identification mark “0”.
