• Remove the middle crankcase and measure the width of the
compressed plastigauge using the envelope scale. This mea-
surement should be taken at the widest part of the com-
pressed plastigauge.
Balancer shaft journal oil clearance:
Standard: 0.028 – 0.052 mm (0.0011 – 0.0020 in)
Service Limit: 0.080 mm (0.031 in)
• If the oil clearance exceeds the service limit, select the speci-
fied bearings from the bearing selection table.
• Check the corresponding crankcase journal I.D. code number
A, "A" or "B" which is stamped on the rear of upper crank-
case.
• Check the corresponding balancer shaft journal O.D. code
number B, "A" or "B" which is stamped on the balancer shaft.
