Connecting Rod Bearing Selection
In order to select the proper bearing for the connecting
rods, you must reference the number on each connecting
rod (Item 7 & 8) and match that up with the rod journal
letters on the crankshaft (Item 9).
In this example, you would use the number 2 as the
connecting rod code. You would use letters G and G as
the crankshaft codes (crank journals 2 and 4). Based off
the bearing selection chart, you would use a Green
bearing for each connecting rod

crankcase codes (case journals 1, 2, 3, 4). You would
use letters G, Y, G, Y as the crankshaft codes (crank
journals 1, 3, 5 and 6). Based off the bearing selection

Upper Crankcase Preparation
NOTE: Always replace plain bearings when the
crankcase or connecting rods have been
disassembled. Refer to bearing selection

crankcase mating surfaces. Inspect the surfaces
closely for nicks, burrs or damage.
2. Clean bolt hole threads to remove any oil or
crankcase sealant.
