ment should be taken at the widest part of the compressed
plastigauge.
( Crankshaft journal oil clearance
Standard: 0.020 – 0.044 mm
( Crankshaft journal oil clearance
Service Limit: 0.08 mm
• If the width at the widest part of the compressed plastigauge
exceeds the limit, replace the set of bearings with new ones.
Refer to the selection table.
• Check the corresponding crankcase journal I.D. codes ("A" or
"B") 1, which are stamped on the rear of the upper crank-
