SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)
If the clearance exceeds specification using a pair
of 0.051 mm (0.002 inch) undersize bearing inserts,
measure crankshaft
micrometer. If the journal diameter is correct, the
crankshaft bore in the cylinder block may be mis-
aligned, which requires cylinder block replacement or
machining to true bore.
Replace the crankshaft or grind to accept the
appropriate undersize bearing inserts if:
• Journal diameters 1 through 6 are less than
63.4517 mm (2.4981 inches)
• Journal 7 diameter is less than 63.4365 mm
(2.4975 inches).
Once the proper clearances have been obtained,
proceed to Crankshaft Main Bearing—Installation.

MAIN BEARING JOURNAL DIAMETER
(CRANKSHAFT REMOVED)
a
Remove the crankshaft from the cylinder block
(refer to Cylinder Block - Disassemble).
Clean the oil off the main bearing journal.
Determine the maximum diameter of the journal
with a micrometer. Measure at two locations 90°
apart at each end of the journal.
The maximum allowable taper and out of round is
0.013 mm (0.0005 inch). Compare the measured
diameter with the journal diameter specification
(Main Bearing Fitting Chart). Select inserts required
to obtain the specified bearing-to-journal clearance.
Install the crankshaft into the cylinder block (refer
to Cylinder Block - Assemble and Crankshaft Main
Bearings - Installation).
