CONSTRUCTION
The crankshaft main bearings are made of aluminum alloy.
Similar to the connecting rod bearings, the lining surface of the crankshaft bearings is micro-grooved to achieve an optimal amount of oil clearance. As a result, cold-engine cranking performance is improved and engine vibration is reduced.
The upper crankshaft bearings have an oil groove around the inside circumference.
The crankshaft bearing caps are tightened using 4 plastic region tightening bolts for each journal. In addition, each cap is tightened laterally to improve its reliability.
