31. The code number stamped on the slotted ring and the colour code (if present) next to the crankshaft journal will be needed to be able to choose the right bearing half. The following example shows how to obtain the crankshaft journal classification.

31.1. Identifying big end bearing journal classification: the number on the left refers to the first bearing on the timing gear side. The letter "N" at the end has no significance on 4-cylinder engines.


31.2. Identifying main bearing journal classification: the first number on the left-hand side refers to the first big end bearing on the timing gear side. The letter "N" at the end has no significance on 4-cylinder engines.

31.3. The number series (if present) with groups of two numbers indicate the dimensions (in thousandths) of the main bearing journals. The first two numbers on the left refer to the first big end bearing on the timing gear side.

Note

Only the number in the marking above are used. Other numerical codes on the flywheel are not to be used.


32. The crankshaft bearings are identified as follows:

32.1. To identify the main bearing journal classification, see the numerical code referred to in 31.2. If the numbers are the same as the example 11111N, this means that all five bearings are grade A (red marking).

32.2. One way of identifying the bearing grade is to read the reference number in 31.3 (if present). In the illustrated example, the number 94 (the first on the left) means that the first bearing dimension on the timing gear side is 52.994 mm, indicating grade A (red marking). The same method applies to the other groups of two numbers (97-95-95-94).

32.3. The main bearing is identified as follows:

Degree Diameter Colour marking Code number
A (normal) 52.994 53.000 Red 1 (94 00)*
B (normal) 59.988 59.994 Blue 2 (88 94)*
C (normal) 52.982 52.988 Yellow 3 (82 88)*
D (0.127 mm undersize) 59.867 59.873 brown 6 (67 73)*
E (0.127 mm undersize) 59.861 59.863 Green 7 (61 67)*
F (0.127 mm undersize) 52.855 52.861 Black 8 (55 61)*


* The last two numbers indicate the final two thousandths of the dimensions

32.4. If a crankshaft where the maximum bearing undersize due to regrinding has become 0.127 mm is being used, the grade should be chosen after measuring the bearing diameters as shown in the table above. After determining the grade and colour of each new or reground crankshaft bearing, it will be necessary to order the corresponding bearing halves with colour coding according to the table. The recommendations given in the table are to attain optimum bearing play for best function. It is also important to be aware that the clearance between the crankshaft and the bearing halves determined in the above measurements should be between the following values: min 0.011 mm and max 0.071 mm. This can be measured as a final check using Plastigauge.
