• 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 />

11. Measure the remaining crankshaft bearing journals.<br />
