WARNING

t	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.

t	If the bearing cap bolts are loosened, the cylinder block must be replaced complete with the crankshaft.

t	Measuring the main bearing clearance is not possible with normal workshop equipment.

t	Do not remove the piston.
