Tech Tips
If replacing a crankshaft bearing, select a new one with the same number. If the number of the crankshaft bearing cannot be determined, calculate the correct crankshaft bearing number by adding together the numbers imprinted on the cylinder block sub-assembly and crankshaft. Then select a new crankshaft bearing with the calculated number. There are 4 sizes of standard crankshaft bearings, marked "1", "2", "3" or "4" accordingly.
| *a | Cylinder Block Number Mark (A) | *b | Crankshaft Number Mark (B) |
| *c | Diameter Mark | - | - |
EXAMPLE
