  • The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition. This grade cannot apply to reused parts.

  • For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the measurement with the values of each selection table.

  • For details of the measurement method of each part, the reuse standards and the selection method of the selective fitting parts, refer to the text.

Main bearing grade table (All journals) : Refer to Main Bearing.

UNDERSIZE BEARING USAGE GUIDE

  • When the specified main bearing oil clearance is not obtained with standard size main bearings, use underside (US) bearing.

  • When using undersize (US) bearing, measure the main bearing inner diameter with bearing installed, and grind main journal so that the main bearing oil clearance satisfies the standard.

    CAUTION:

    In grinding crankshaft main journal to use undersize bearings, keep the fillet R [1.5 - 1.7 mm (0.059 - 0.067 in)].

Bearing undersize table : Refer to Main Bearing.
