Lastly, we wish to point out that the clearance between the main
journal and the half-bearing, obtained through the selection
method indicated above, should generally be within the follow-
ing values:
Minimum: 0.025 mm – Maximum: 0,052 mm; this value can be
measured, as a nal check, using the calibrated wire (plastigage).
Place the lubrication jets back in their housings and secure them
to the crankcase using the bolts.
Fit the crankshaft in the crankcase.
Fit the bearing caps complete with half-bearings and tighten the
bolts to the recommended torque.
Bearing caps
VF4 Bolt M12 (da Nm) 1.9 ÷ 2.1 + 100°
VF5 Bolt M12 (da Nm) 2.4 ÷ 2.6 + 100°
The bearing caps have progressive references (from zero to
ve starting from the timing system side) which dene the t-
ting position.
