The crankshaft bearings are made of aluminum alloy.
The crankshaft bearings are reduced in width to reduce friction.
The bearing lining surface is coated with resin to improve wear and seizure resistance.
The upper crankshaft bearings have an oil groove around the inside circumference.
The crankshaft bearing caps are tightened using 4 plastic region tightening bolts (crankshaft bearing cap set bolts) for each journal. In addition, each cap is tightened laterally to improve its reliability.
