    GFD600804Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
  3. NOTE: This chart is for selecting main bearings 1 and 5 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 5.

    1. Maximum crankshaft journal diameter
    2. Minimum block bore diameter

    • 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 fifth letter of the block and crankshaft codes to select the No. 5 bearing.

    GFD600805Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
  4. NOTE: This chart is for selecting main bearings 2, 3 and 4 only.

    Using the data recorded earlier and the Bearing Select Fit Chart, Standard Bearings, determine the required bearing grade for main bearings 2, 3 and 4.

    1. Maximum crankshaft journal diameter
    2. Minimum block bore diameter

    • 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(s) 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 a "1" for the upper bearing and a "2" for the lower bearing
