HINT: If using a standard bearing, replace with one having
the same number. If the number of the bearing cannot be de-
termined, select the correct bearing by adding together the
numbers imprinted on the connecting rod cap and crank-
shaft, then selecting the bearing with the same number as the
total. There are 5 sizes of standard bearings, marked º1º, º2º,
º3º, º4º and º5º accordingly.
