Measure Assembled I.D. of Bearings and O.D. of Crankshaft Journals

RG10223-UN: Measuring Main Bearings

NOTE:

Also inspect and measure assembled I.D. of connecting rod bearings. Compare measurements with
connecting rod journal O.D. on crankshaft. See INSPECT AND MEASURE CONNECTING ROD
BEARINGS in Group 030.

1. With crankshaft removed from engine, install main bearing caps with bearing inserts. Be sure inserts are installed
correctly.

2. Tighten main bearing cap screws to specifications.

Item Measurement Specification

Crankshaft Main Bearing Cap Torque 230 N˙m (170 lb-ft)

Screws

3. Measure I.D. of all assembled bearings in four locations 90° apart with an inside micrometer. Compare measurements
with the following specifications.

Item Measurement Specification

Crankshaft Main Bearing ID With Bearing 95.270—95.320 mm (3.7508—

3.7528 in.)

ID Without Bearing 101.651—101.677 mm (4.0020—

4.0030 in.)

4.
RG10224-UN: Measuring Crankshaft Main Journals

Measure O.D. of all respective crankshaft main journals in four locations 90° apart. Compare measurements with the
following specifications.

Item Measurement Specification

Crankshaft Main Journal OD 95.196—95.222 mm (3.7479—

3.7490 in.)

NOTE:

If engine has previously had a major overhaul and undersized bearing inserts were used, I.D. and
O.D. dimensions may not be the same as those recorded. However, oil clearance must be
0.030—0.107 mm (0.0012-0.0042 in.). Replace bearings as needed.

Use crankshaft journal O.D. measurements to determine if journal is out-of-round or tapered.

Item Measurement Specification

Crankshaft Main Journal Taper per 25.4 mm (1.0 in.) length 0.0025 mm (0.0001 in.)

Out-of-Roundness 0.025 mm (0.0010 in.)
