Engine: assembly and dismantling
  Caution
The crankshaft must not be removed. Just loosening the main bearing caps will cause deformation of the crankshaft bearings. This deformation reduces the bearing clearance. Even if the half-bearings are not replaced, changes in the bearing clearance may cause damage.
If the bearing cap bolts are loosened, the cylinder block must be replaced complete with the crankshaft.
Measuring the main bearing clearance is not possible with normal workshop equipment.
