- Remove connecting rod caps and push pistons towards top of cylinders. Remove main bearing caps (one at a time) and thoroughly clean all bearing surfaces.
- Measure all journals, using a micrometer. Out-of-roundness on connecting rod bearings should not exceed 0.003" (0.07 mm) and on main bearings, it should not exceed 0.002" (0.05 mm). If values obtained are close to, or in excess of wear limits, crankshaft must be reground to next suitable undersize.
- If all journals check out to standard size, refit with replacement bearings. Reinstall main bearing caps, refit connecting rods to crankshaft and tighten all nuts and bolts to specifications. Reassemble engine in reverse order of removal.
