The main bearings are "select fit" to achieve proper oil clearances. For main bearing selection, the crankshaft position sensor target wheel has grade
identification marks stamped into it (Fig. 104). These marks are read from left to right, corresponding with journal number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The
crankshaft position sensor target wheel is mounted to the number 8 counter weight on the crankshaft.
