Connecting Rod Bearing Selection

In order to select the proper bearing for the connecting
rods, you must reference the number on each connecting
rod (Item 7 & 8) and match that up with the rod journal
letters on the crankshaft (Item 9).
In this example, you would use the number 2 as the
connecting rod code. You would use letters G and G as
the crankshaft codes (crank journals 2 and 4). Based off
the bearing selection chart, you would use a Green
bearing for each connecting rod
