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. |
