CONNECTING ROD BEARING SELECTION
In order to select the proper bearing for the connecting
rods, you must reference the number on each connecting
rod and match that up with the rod journal letters on the
crankshaft. Reference Bearing Selection Identification,
page 3.71
For example, the stamping on the crankshaft reads
ABBCBA. The crankshaft connecting rod journals are
w
and
r
. Based on the crankshaft code, one journal would
be B and the other C. The connecting rods were both
stamped 2
Based off the bearing selection chart, you would use:
Green bearing for connecting rod journal
w
and Yellow
for connecting rod journal
r
.

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