places. If it is out of specification, replace
the crankshaft.
d. Measure the crankshaft journal bearing
inside diameter “b” of each crankshaft jour-
nal bearing at two places.
e. If crankshaft journal bearing inside diame-
ter is “55.03” and crankshaft journal diame-
ter is “54.98”, then the journal oil clearance
is:
If the oil clearance is out of specification,
select replacement bearings.

)
TIP
The numbers “A” stamped into the crank-
shaft web and the numbers “B” on the crank-
case are used to determine the replacement
crankshaft journal bearing size.

refer to the bearings shown in the
crankshaft illustration.
For example, if the crankcase J
1
and the
crankshaft web J
1
numbers are 4 and 2
respectively, then the bearing size for J
1
is:
Crankshaft journal diameter
54.984–55.000 mm (2.1647–
2.1654 in)
Journal oil clearance:
