Crankshaft Bore Code Location

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Letters have been stamped on the end of the engine block as a code for the size of each of the five main journal bores. Write down the crank bore codes.

    Use them, and the numbers stamped on the crankshaft (codes for main journal size), to choose the correct main bearings. If the codes are indecipherable because of an accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or detergent.
