- Inspect bearings for wear or damage. Replace as necessary. Using Plastigage, check bearing clearance. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS . Bearings are available for standard and undersize applications.
- If necessary, different size upper and lower bearings may be combined to obtain correct oil clearance. Tighten bolts to specification. Check rod side play. Rotate crankshaft to ensure freedom of movement. Refer to TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Refer to CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS table.
NOTE:
Never combine bearing inserts that differ by more than .001" (.03 mm) in size. Odd size inserts must be on bottom (rod cap) side.
