- Measure width of fit bearing on crankcase and on fit bearing cap, note.
- Measure width of fit bearing at crankshaft, note.
- Determine thickness of thrust washer
Thrust washers of the same thickness must always be inserted in the crankcase and in the fit bearing cap.

- Install thrust washers
The oil grooves must point toward the contact surface of the crankshaft and be oiled. The antitwist lock is positioned against the thrust washer in the bearing cap
