• If necessary, regrind crankshaft journal and select under-size bearing to use with it as follows.
a. Regrind journal to the following finished diameter.
Finished journal diameter
57.7380 – 57.7560 mm (2.27315 – 2.27385 in.)
b. Using micrometer, measure reground journal diameter.
Measurement should be taken in two directions perpendicular to each other in order to check for out-of-round.
c. Using journal diameter measured and alphabets stamped on lower crankcase, select an undersize bearing by
referring to the following table.
