9 Measure the main bearing and crankpin journals for
out-of-round using the following procedure:
a Using an outside micr ometer, measure the
journal at the extreme front and rear locations
on the journal. Call these points A and B.
b Measure the journal in two new locations exactly 90 degrees from the first points. Call
these points C and D.
c Subtract A from C and B from D. The differences will indicate journal out-of-round.
d The out-of-round shoul d not exceed 0.004 mm
maximum.
e If the journals are worn beyond the specifications, the crankshaft may be ground
0.25 mm. There is only one size of oversized
crankshaft and connecting rod bearings
available for service.
10 Measure the main bearing and crankpin journals for taper using the following procedure:
a Using an outside micr ometer, measure the
journal at the extreme fr ont (A) and rear (B) of
the journal parallel to t he crankshaft centreline.
b Subtract the smallest from the largest measurement. The result will be the journal
taper.
c If the main bearing journal taper exceeds 0.004 mm, replace the crankshaft.
d If the journals are worn beyond the specifications, the crankshaft may be ground
0.25 mm. There is only one size of oversized
crankshaft and connecting rod bearings
available for service.

Crankshaft Bearing Installation Procedure
CAUTION
If the crankshaft bearings have been used in
a running engine, replace them with new
crankshaft bearings for reassembly.
1 Clean the crankcase crank bore with a lint-free cloth.
2 Clean all the oil from the backside of new bearing halves.
3 Install the new upper crankshaft bearings into position. The thrust beari ng (1) belongs in the number
3 journal(2). Ensure the upper bearing insert contains
the oil transfer hole and groove. Roll the bearing into
position so the lock tang engages the crank slot. The
bearing must fit flush with the upper crankcase.

4 Install the new lower crankshaft bearings (2) into
position in the main bearing caps (1). The lower
crankshaft bearings are ident ified by no grooves or
holes. The bearings must fit flush with the crankshaft
bearing caps.

Crankshaft Main Bearing Clearance Measurement
1 Place a length of fresh, room temperature plastic
gauging material all the way across all the crankshaft
bearing journals.
2 Install the crankshaft main bearing caps.
3 Loosely install the original inner main cap bolts (1).
4 Loosely install the original outer main cap bolts (2).
Figure 6A1 – 518
5 Loosely install the original short/inner side main cap bolts.
6 Loosely install the original long/outer side main cap
bolts (3).
7 Gently tap the crankshaft main bearing caps with a soft-faced hammer to help seat the caps.
8 Tighten the main caps bolts to the correct torque specification, and in the following sequence.
Crankshaft main bearing cap inboard
attaching bolt torque specification:
Stage 1 .........................20.0 Nm
Stage 2................................. 80°
Crankshaft main bearing cap outboard

Stage 1 .........................15.0 Nm
Stage 2............................... 110°

NOTE
Do not rotate the crankshaft.
9 Allow the assembly to sit for 2 minutes.
10 Remove the crankshaft bearing cap side bolts.
11 Remove the crankshaft bearing cap outer bolts (2).
12 Remove the crankshaft bearing cap inner bolts (1).
13 Install the crankshaft main bearing cap remover Tool No. J-41818 as previously described and remove the
crankshaft bearing cap.
14 Repeat steps 10 to 13 for the remaining crankshaft bearing caps.
Figure 6A1 – 520
15 Determine the crankshaft bearing clearance by comparing the width of the flattened plastic gauging
material (1) at its widest point with the graduation on
the gauging material scale (2).
16 Compare the measur ements listed in the
specifications, refer to 5 Specifications. If the new
bearings do not provide the correct crankshaft to
bearing clearance, inspect the following:
17 Measure the crankshaft journals for the correct specified size and ensure new bearings are being
installed. If the crankshaft journals are incorrectly
sized, replace or regrind the crankshaft. Crankshaft
machining is permitted and undersized bearings are
available.
18 Measure the engine block crankshaft bearing bore diameter to ensure correct size. The engine block
crankshaft bearing bore is not machineable and the
block must be replaced if out of specification.
19 Clean the plastic gauging material from the crankshaft bearing journals with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Crankshaft Final Installation Procedure
1 If removed, install the crankshaft sprocket drive
pin (1). Lightly tap the pin in place with a small soft
face, bronze/plastic, hammer until it bottoms in the
hole.
Figure 6A1 – 522
CAUTION
Ensure the crankshaft position sensor has
been removed from the cylinder block prior
to loading the crankshaft, as damage to the
sensor may occur.
2 Apply a liberal amount of clean engine oil to the upper and lower bearing surfaces.
3 Gently lower the crankshaft (1) into position in the cylinder block (2).
Figure 6A1 – 523
4 Install the crankshaft main bearing caps.
5 Loosely install the original inner main cap bolts (1).
CAUTION
The outer crankshaft bearing cap bolts (2)
are yield tightened during assembly and
must be replaced prior to reassembly. Outer
crankshaft bearing cap bolts that are not
replaced will not torque to the correct clamp
load and can lead to serious engine damage.
6 Loosely install the new outer main bearing cap bolts (2).
7 Gently tap the crankshaft main bearing caps with a soft-faced hammer to help seat the caps.

8 Loosely install new short / inner side main cap
bolts (4).
CAUTION
• The short / inner side main cap bolts
originally have a sealant on the flange of
the bolt head. New bolts must be used. If
new bolts are not used, oil can leak from
the crankcase past the bolts.
• The long / outer side main cap bolts
originally have a sealant on the flange of
the bolt head. New bolts must be used. If
new bolts are not used, oil can leak from
the crankcase past the bolts.
9 Loosely install the new long / outer side main cap bolts (3).
10 Tighten the main caps bolts to the correct torque specification, and in the following sequence.
