Crankshaft Main Bearing: Service and Repair
Crankshaft Bearing Shell Allocation
The main bearing shells are allocated to the cylinder block and crankshaft with the correct thickness at the factory. Colored spots serve to identify the
bearing thicknesses.
If the cylinder block or crankshaft are being replaced, then the bearing shells must be reallocated.
The bearing shell for the cylinder block (upper bearing shell) is always marked in yellow.
Using the letters on the cylinder block and crankshaft, determine the correct color identification for the bearing shell in the bearing cover (lower
bearing shell).
The first letter is for bearing cover one, the second for bearing cover two, etc.
Cylinder Block Identification
The letters are located on the oil pan sealing surface.
