• If the crankshaft bearing clearance is within<br />

specifications, the crankshaft bearing is satisfactory. If the<br />

clearance is not within specifications, replace the<br />

crankshaft bearing.<br />

Always replace both the upper and lower crankshaft<br />

bearings as a unit.<br />

• A standard or undersize crankshaft bearing combination<br />

may result in the proper clearance. If the proper<br />

crankshaft bearing clearance cannot be achieved using<br />

the standard or the undersize crankshaft bearings, it may<br />

be necessary to repair or replace the crankshaft.<br />

Notice: Do not shim, scrape or file bearing inserts. Do not touch<br />

the bearing surface of the insert with bare fingers. Skin oil and<br />

acids will etch the bearing surface.<br />
