1. NOTE: This procedure is for selecting bearings using a new crankshaft.

   Select the crankshaft main bearings for each crankshaft journal.

   • Read the code on the crankshaft flange.
   • Read the code on the cylinder block face.
     • The first letter after the first asterisk makes up the code for main No. 1 and the next letter for main No. 2. The first letter after the second asterisk makes up the code for main No. 3 and the last letter for main No. 4.

2. NOTE: This chart is for selecting main bearings 1 and 4 only, the remaining bearings will be selected using a different chart in the next step.

   Using the data recorded earlier and the Bearing Select Fit Chart, Standard Bearings, determine the required bearing grade for main bearings 1 and 4.

   • 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 2 intersect. This is the required bearing grade(s) for the No. 1 crankshaft main bearing.
   • As an example, if the engine block code letter is "F" and the crankshaft code letter is "P", the correct bearing grade for this main bearing is a "1" for the upper bearing and a "2" for the lower bearing.
   • Repeat the above steps using the fourth letter of the block and crankshaft codes to select the No. 4 bearing.

3. NOTE: This chart is for selecting main bearings 2 and 3 only.

   Using the data recorded earlier and the Bearing Select Fit Chart, Standard Bearings, determine the required bearing grade for main bearings 2 and 3.

   • Read the second letter of the engine block main bearing code and the second 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 2 intersect. This is the required bearing grade for the No. 2 crankshaft main bearing.
   • As an example, if the engine block code letter is "F" and the crankshaft code letter is "P", the correct bearing grade for this main bearing is "1".
   • Repeat the above steps using the third letter of the block and crankshaft codes to select the No. 3.
