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 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" and "4" accordingly.
