31. In order to select the correct bearing shells, you need the code number stamped on the slotted ring and the colour marking (if such exists) next to the crankshaft journal. The following example shows how to determine the crankshaft journal classification.

31.1. Identification of class for big-end bearing journal: The digit on the left side refers to the first bearing on the timing side. The letter "N" at the end is of no significance for 4-cylinder engines.


31.2. Identification of class for main bearing journal: The first digit on the left side refers to the first big-end bearing on the timing side. The letter "N" at the end is of no significance for 4-cylinder engines.

31.3. The number series (if present) with groups of two digits indicates the sizes (in thousandths) of the main bearing journals. The first two digits to the left refer to the first big-end bearing on the timing side.

Note

Only the digits in the above marking should be used. The other numerical code on the flywheel is not to be used.


32. Identification of crankshaft bearings is done as follows:

32.1. To identify the main bearing journal classification, see the numerical code as described in 31.2. If the digits are similar to the example 11111N, all five bearings are of grade A (red colour marking).

32.2. One way of identifying bearing grade is to read the reference number (if present) as described in 31.3. In the example in the illustration, the number 94 (the first to the left) indicates that the size of first bearing on the timing side is 52.994, which is grade A (red colour marking). The same method applies for other groups of two digits (97-95-95-94).

32.3. Main bearing identification is done as follows:

Grade

Diameter

Colour marking

Code number

A (normal)

52.994 53.000

Red

1 (94 00)*

B (normal)

59.988 59.994

Blue

2 (88 94)*

C (normal)

52.982 52.988

Yellow

3 (82 88)*

D (0.127 mm undersize)

59.867 59.873

Brown

6 (67 73)*

E (0.127 mm undersize)

59.861 59.863

Green

7 (61 67)*

F (0.127 mm undersize)

52.855 52.861

Black

8 (55 61)*



* The last two digits indicate the last thousandths of the sizes

32.4. If a crankshaft is used in which the maximum bearing size has become 0.127 mm due to grinding, the grade is chosen from the above table after measuring the bearing diameters. Once the grade and colour is determined for each new or ground crankshaft bearing, it is necessary to order the corresponding bearing shells with colour marking based on the table. The table's recommendations are intended to achieve optimal bearing clearance for the best function. It is important to know that the clearance between the crankshaft and bearing shells as determined following the above measurements is to lie within the interval min 0.011 mm and max 0.071 mm. This can be measured using a plastigauge as a final check.
