Crankshaft Main Bearing Insert/Journal Clearance
Standard:
0.030
∼
0.054 mm (0.0012
∼
0.0021 in.)
Service Limit: 0.08 mm (0.0032 in.)
If clearance is within the standard, no bearing replace-
ment is required.
If clearance is between 0.055 mm (0.022 in.) and the ser-
vice limit (0.08 mm, 0.0032 in.), replace the bearing in-
serts [A] with inserts painted blue [B]. Check insert/journal
clearance with the plastigage. The clearance may exceed
the standard slightly, but it must not be less than the min-
imum in order to avoid bearing seizure.
If clearance exceeds the service limit, measure the diam-
eter of the crankshaft main journal.

crankshaft with a new one.
If the measured journal diameters are not less than the
service limit, but do not coincide with the original diameter
markings on the crankshaft, make new marks on it.
