.
2. From the above table, select a bearing whose size is appropriate for the
crankshaft pin outside the diameter. For example, if the crankshaft pin outside
diameter Identification color is "yellow" and the connecting rod Identification
mark is "2," select a bearing whose Identification color is "green."
For example, if the crankshaft pin outside diameter Identification color is
"yellow" and the connecting rod Identification mark is "2," select a bearing
whose Identification color is "green."
If there is no identification color paint on the crankshaft, measure the pin
outside diameter and select bearing appropriate for the measured value.
