10. Using the gauge provided with the Plastigauge kit, measure the width of the
compressed Plastigauge.
Checking the Measured Clearance
11. For specifications refer to Crankshaft.
12. If the clearance exceeds the service limit, measure the diameter of the crankshaft
bearing journal.
If any journal has worn beyond the service limit, the crankshaft must be replaced. Due
to the techniques used during manufacture, the crankshaft cannot be reground and
oversize bearings are not available.
Connecting Rod Bearing Selection
Minor differences in dimensions are compensated for by using selective bearings. For
further information on bearing part number to colour cross-references, refer to the
EPC.
