(r) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance:
0.014 to 0.034 mm (0.0006 to 0.0013 in.) for No. 1 and
No. 2 journals
0.026 to 0.046 mm (0.0010 to 0.0018 in.) for No. 3 and
No. 4 journals
Maximum clearance:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) for No. 1 and No. 2 journals
0.06 mm (0.0024 in.) for No. 3 and No. 4 journals
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, re-
place the bearings.
If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
NOTICE:
Completely remove the Plastigage.

(s) If replacing a bearing, replace it with one having the same
number. If the number of the bearing cannot be deter-
mined, select the correct bearing by adding together the
numbers imprinted on the cylinder block and crankshaft,
then refer to the table below for the appropriate bearing
number. The No. 1 and No. 2 journal bearing come in 5
sizes, marked º3º, º4º, º5º, º6º and º7º. The No. 3 and No.
4 journal bearings come in 5 standard bearing sizes,
marked º1º, º2º, º3º, º4º and º5º.
