k. Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.

Standard oil clearance:

Maximum clearance:

If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.

HINT: If using a bearing, replace it with one having the same number. If the number of the bearing cannot be determined, select the correct bearing by adding together the numbers imprinted on the cylinder block and crankshaft, then refer to the table for the appropriate bearing number. The No.1 and No.4 journal bearings have 5 standard bearing sizes, marked "3", "4", "5", "6" and "7" accordingly. The No.2 and No.3 journal bearings have 5 standard bearing sizes, marked "1", "2", "3", "4", and "5" accordingly.

No. 1 and No.4 journal bearings
EXAMPLE: Cylinder block "06" (A) + Crankshaft "08" = Total number 14 (Use bearing "5")

No.1 and No.4 journal standard bearings selection chart
EXAMPLE: Cylinder block "06", Crankshaft "08" = Use bearing 5

No.2 and No.3 journal bearings
EXAMPLE: Cylinder block"06"(A) + Crankshaft "08"" (B) = Total number 14 (Use bearing "3")

No.2 and No.3 journal standard bearings selection chart
EXAMPLE: Cylinder block "06", Crankshaft "08" = Use bearing "3"

Reference

l. Completely remove the Plastigage.
31. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT
