2) Next, check bearing cap bore diameter with-
out bearing.
On mating surface of cylinder block, five
alphabets are stamped as shown in Fig.
3-5-46.
Three kinds of alphabets ("A", "B" and
"C") represent following cap bore diameters.

The first, second, third, fourth and fifth (left
to right) stamped alphabets indicate the cap
bore diameter of bearing caps "1", "2", "3",
"4" and "5" respectively.
For example, in Fig. 3-5-46, the first (leftmost)
alphabet "8" indicates that the cap bore dia. of
bearing cap @ is within 49.006 - 49.012 mm,
and the fifth (rightmost) alphabet "A" indicates
that the cap bore dia. of cap @ is within 49.000

4) From the numeral stamped on crank webs of
No. 2 and No. 3 cylinders and the alphabets
stamped on mating surface of cylinder block,
determine new standard bearing to be install-
ed to the journal, by referring to the table
shown below.
For example, if numeral stamped on crank
web is "1" and alphabet stamped on mating
surface is "8", install new standard bearing
painted in "Black" to its journal.
