2.
Check that the crankshaft is clean.
3.
Assemble the bearing with oil holes/groove
(A) to the cylinder block and the bearing with

a) Make sure that the bearing shell clamping
claws fit into their notches.
b) Make also sure that the shells to be fitted
in the cylinder block have a hole
coinciding with the oil port.

Lubricate the bearing surfaces and fit the
crankshaft.
5.
