  Caution
Warning aluminium cylinder block! The crankshaft must not be removed. Just loosening the main bearing caps will cause deformation of the cylinder block bearing pedestals. This deformation will cause a reduction of the bearing clearance. Even if the bearing shells are not renewed bearing damage could occur due to a different bearing clearance.
If the bearing cap bolts are loosened, the cylinder block must be renewed complete with the crankshaft.
Measuring the main bearing clearance is not possible with normal workshop equipment.
  Note
t  Secure engine to engine and gearbox support -VAS 6095- to carry out repairs.
t  If metal shavings or larger quantities of metal particles or other deposits (caused for example, by partial seizure of the conrod bearings) are found in the engine oil when making repairs, clean the oil passages thoroughly and renew the oil filter in order to prevent further damage from occurring later.
t  All bearing and running surfaces must be oiled before assembly.
