m. Remove the bearing cap.





n. Measure the plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance: 0.017 - 0.040 mm (0.0007 - 0.0016 inch)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.07 mm (0.0028 inch)

NOTICE: Completely remove the plastigage.





o. If using a standard 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 selecting the bearing with the same number as the total. There are 4 sizes of standard bearings, marked "1", "2", "3" and "4" accordingly.

Use:





HINT:
EXAMPLE
Cylinder block "4" (A) + Crankshaft "3" (B) =
Total number 7 (Use bearing "3")
