CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS INSTALLATION
When the bearing needs replacing, select and instal l a proper
bearing by the following procedure.
(1)Measure the crankshaft pin diameter and confirm its classi-
fication from the following table. In the case of a crankshaft
supplied as a service part, identification colors of its pins
are painted at the positions shown in the illustrat ion.
(2) The connecting rod bearing identification mark is stamped
at the position shown in the illustration.

”(1) If the measured value of a crankshaft pin outer
diameter is between 44.995 and 45.000 mm (1.7715
and 1.7717 in.), the pin is classified as in the
table. In case the crankshaft is also replaced by
a spare part, check the identification colors of th e
pins painted on the new crankshaft. If the color is
yellow, for example, the pin is classified as “1”. I n
the above cases, select the connecting rod bearing having identification mark “1”.
