Big-end bearing shell-journal clearance
To check the assembly clearance between the bearing shells and crankshaft journals you will lay a strip (A) of GREEN
“Plastigage PG-1” on the journal. Fit the connecting rod with the original bearings and tighten the screws to a torque of 50 Nm.
Remove the connecting rod and compare the width of the Plastigage strip to the scale (B).
If the width measured corresponding to the existing clearance is not within the prescribed limit (Sect. C 1.1), either the bearings
or the crankshaft must be replaced.
