c. There are 5 kinds of standard bearings differing in
thickness. To distinguish them, they are painted in
the following colors at the position as indicated in
the figure.
Each color indicated the following thickness at the
center of bearing.

d. From number stamped on connecting rod and its
cap and alphabet stamped on crank web No. 3
cylinder, determine new standard bearing to be
installed to connecting rod big-end inside, by
referring to the table.
For example, if number stamped on connecting
rod and its cap is "1" and alphabet stamped on
crank web No. 3 cylinder is "B", install a new
standard bearing painted in "Black" to its
connecting rod big-end inside.

e. Check bearing clearance with newly selected
standard bearing referring to "Crank pin and
connecting rod bearings: ".
If clearance still exceeds its limit, use next thicker
bearing and recheck clearance.
• Connecting rod bolt
Measure each thread diameter of connecting rod bolts
(1) at "A" on 28.5 mm (1.12 in.) from bolt mounting
surface and "B" on 42.0 mm (1.65 in.) from bolt
mounting surface by using a micrometer (2).
Calculate difference in diameters ("A" – "B"). If it
exceeds limit, replace connecting rod.
Connecting rod bolt measurement points
"a": 28.5 mm (1.12 in.)
"b": 42.0 mm (1.65 in.)
Connecting rod bolt diameter difference
limit ("A" – "B"): 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
