Identification of Top Crankshaft Bearing Shells

thicknesses.
The letters marked on the lower sealing surface of the cylinder block identify which bearing thickness must be installed in which location.
G Yellow
B Blue
W White
- Arrow - points in direction of travel.
If colored marks can no longer be seen, use the blue bearing shell.
The lower crankshaft bearing shells are always shipped as replacement part with a "yellow" colored mark.
