ENGINE UNIT DETAILS CRANKSHAFT AND BEARING
CONSTRUCTION
The crankshaft has 4 journals and 6 balance weights.
All pins and journal fillets are roll-finished to maintain adequate strength.
The crankshaft bearing is made of aluminum alloy.
The lining surface of the crankshaft bearings are micro-grooved to realize an optimal amount of oil clearance. As a result, excellent cold-engine cranking performance has been realized.
The upper main bearing has an oil groove around its inside circumference.
