Oil Clearance between Crankshaft Journal and Crankshaft
Bearing 2

1. Put a strip of plastigauge on the center of the journal.

2. Install the bearing case and tighten the baring case screws 1 to

the specified torque, and remove the bearing case again.

3. Measure the width that it becomes flat with the scale to get the

oil clearance.

4. If the oil clearance is more than the allowable limit, replace the

crankshaft bearing 2.

5. If the same dimension bearing is not applicable because of the

crankshaft journal wear, replace it with an undersize one. Refer

to the table and figure.

NOTE

• When you tighten the bearing case screws, do not move

the crankshaft.
