Using the data recorded earlier and the Bearing Select Fit Chart, Standard Bearings, determine the required bearing grade for each main bearing.
- Read the first letter of the engine block main bearing code and the first letter of the crankshaft main bearing code.
- Read down the column below the engine block main bearing code letter, and across the row next to the crankshaft main bearing code letter, until the two intersect. This is the required bearing grade for the number one crankshaft main bearing.
- As an example, if the engine block code letter is "F" and the crankshaft code letter is "D", the correct bearing grade for this main bearing is a "2".
- Repeat this process for the remaining four main bearings.
