Note
Wider thrust width is available only in under-
size center main bearing.
Pilot Bearing (MTX)
1. Apply engine oil to the outer circumference of the
bearing.
2. Set a piece of pipe (outer diameter 30—34 mm,
1.18—1.34 in) against the outer race of the bear-
ing, then tap it evenly into the crankshaft.
3. Lubricate the bearing with grease.
Piston and Connecting Rod Assembly
