| Checking radial clearance of conrod bearings |
| Special tools and workshop equipment required |
Note | t
| Do not interchange used bearings. |
| t
| Bearing shells worn down to nickel layer must be renewed |
| –
| Remove conrod bearing caps. |
| –
| Clean bearing caps and bearing journals. |
| –
| Place Plastigage onto bearing journal or into bearing shells (length of Plastigage should correspond to width of bearing). |
| –
| Fit conrod bearing cap and tighten to 30 Nm. Do not rotate crankshaft. |
| –
| Remove conrod bearing caps once more. |
| –
| Compare width of Plastigage with measurement scale: |
| l
