Inspect the bearing inserts for unusual wear, damage or peeling and replace the crankcase if necessary.

Main bearing oil clearance

Clean off any oil from the main bearing inserts and crankshaft journals.

Measure and record the crankshaft main journal O.D..

Measure and record the main bearing I.D..

Calculate the oil clearance by subtracting the journal O.D. from bearing I.D..

Standard: 0.025 - 0.041 mm (0.001 - 0.0016 in)
Service limit: 0.07 mm (0.003 in)

Replace the crankcase if the service limit is exceeded.
