Crankshaft Main Bearing Selection
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The main bearings are "select fit" to achieve proper oil clearances. For main bearing selection, the crankshaft counterweight has grade identification marks stamped into it. These marks are read from left to right, corresponding with journal number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
NOTE:
Service main bearings are coded. These codes identify what size (color) the bearing is.
