Out-of-Round and Taper (Uneven Wear) of Journals
An unevenly worn crankshaft journal shows up as a
difference in diameter at a cross section or along its
length (or both).
This difference, if any, is determined by taking
micrometer readings.
If any journal is badly damaged or if measurements
exceed service limit, replace crankshaft.

ZAJ6111406027
Crankshaft Main Bearing Visual Inspection
Check bearings for pitting, scratches, wear or damage.
If any improper condition is found, replace both upper
and lower halves.
Always replace both bearing halves, never replace only
one half of a bearing set.
Crankshaft Journal Oil Clearance
Check clearance using Plastigauge according to the
following procedure.
NOTE
Assemble each bearing in its original
position before checking clearance.
1) Clean surface of bearing holder (crankcase, and
cylinder), bearing, and main bearing journal.
2) Install main bearing (1) to cylinder and crankcase.
NOTE
• Align tab “A” of bearing with notch in
cylinder and crankcase.
• Do not apply engine oil to bearing.
• Install lower bearing half with oil hole /
groove towards cylinder side.
