2. Next, check bearing cap bore diameter without bearing. On mating surface of cylinder block, four alphabets are stamped as shown in figure. Three
kinds of alphabets ("A","B" and "C") represent following cap bore diameters.
Alphabet Stamped: A
Bearing Cap Bore Diameter (Without Bearing): 56.000 - 56.006 mm (2.2047 - 2.2050 inch)
Alphabet Stamped: B
Bearing Cap Bore Diameter (Without Bearing): 56.006 - 56.012 mm (2.2050 - 2.2052 inch)
Alphabet Stamped: C
Bearing Cap Bore Diameter (Without Bearing): 56.012 - 56.018 mm (2.2052 - 2.2054 inch)
The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth (left to right) stamped alphabets represent cap bore diameters of bearing caps "1","2","3","4", and "5",
respectively. For example, in figure, the first (left most) alphabet "B" indicates that cap bore diameter of bearing cap "1" is within 56.006 - 56.012
mm, and the fifth (right most) alphabet "A" indicates that cap bore diameter of cap "5" is within 56.000 - 56.006 mm.
3. There are five kinds of standard bearings differing in thickness. To distinguish them, they are painted in following colors at the position as
indicated in figure. Each color indicates following thickness at the center of bearing.
