Caution The crankshaft must not be removed. Even loosening the main bearing caps will cause deformation of the cylinder block bearing seats. 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. |
