Two types  of main  bearings  are in use. Upper and lower 
shells 
on  same journal must  be same  type. 
Connect
ing rod bearings 
Matched 
shells are  used in production: 
Shells are colour -coded (red, blue,  yellow) as follows: 
136753 
Assembly 1 Two yellow  shells. 
Assembly 
2 One  blue and one red. 
Blue  shell in con-rod  and red in cap. 
Colour code Note that only yellow-coded  shells are kept in stock . 
• Late type: also main  bearing shells .
