SELECTION OF MAIN BEARINGS
Standard Bearing:
If bearing is in malcondition, or bearing clearance is out of specification, select a new standard bearing according to following procedure and
install it.
1. First check journal diameter by using following procedure. As shown in image, crank webs of No.2 and No.3 cylinders have five stamped
numerals.
Three kinds of numerals ("1", "2" and "3") represent following journal diameters.
Journal diameter
Stamped 1: 51.994 - 52.000 mm (2.0470 - 2.0472 inch)
Stamped 2: 51.988 - 51.994 mm (2.0468 - 2.0470 inch)
Stamped 3: 51.982 - 51.988 mm (2.0465 - 2.0468 inch)
The first, second, third, fourth and fifth (left to right) stamped numerals represent journal diameters at bearing caps "1", "2", "3", "4" and "5"
respectively.
For example, in image, the first (left most) numeral "3" indicates that journal dia. at bearing cap "1" is within 51.982 - 51.988 mm, and second
one " 1 " indicates that journal dia. at cap "2" is within 51.994 - 52.000 mm.
2. Next, check bearing cap bore diameter without bearing. On mating surface of cylinder block, four alphabets are stamped as shown in image.
Three kinds of alphabets ("A", "B" and "C") represent following cap bore diameters.
Bearing cap bore diameter (without bearing)
Stamped A: 56.000 - 56.006 mm (2.2047 - 2.2050 inch)
Stamped B: 56.006 - 56.012 mm (2.2050 - 2.2052 inch)
Stamped C: 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 image, the first (left-most) alphabet "B" indicates that cap bore dia. of bearing cap " 1 " is within 56.006 - 56.012 mm, and the
fifth (right most) alphabet "A" indicates that cap bore dia. of cap "5" is within 56.000 - 56.006 mm.
