UNDERSIZE BEARINGS USAGE GUIDE
- When the specified oil clearance is not obtained with standard size connecting rod bearings, use undersize (US) bearings.
- When using undersize bearing, measure the bearing inside diameter with the bearing installed, and grind the crankshaft pin so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard. Bearing undersize table
| Unit: mm (in) |
| Undersize | Thickness |
| 0.25 (0.0098) | 1.627-1.635 (0.0641-0.0644) |
| CAUTION | In grinding the crankshaft pin to use undersize bearings, keep the fillet R (All crankshaft pins). Fillet R: 1.5-1.7 mm (0.059-0.067 in) |

- Apply the main bearing housing grade on the bottom face of the cylinder block to the row in "Main Bearings Selection Chart".
- Apply the journal diameter grade on the crankshaft front to the column in "Main Bearings Selection Chart".
- Read the symbol at the cross point of the selected row and column in the "Main Bearings Selection Chart". CAUTION: Initial clearance for No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal is different. Use two different selection lists for each part. No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal have the same signs but different measures. Do not confuse them.
- Apply the symbol to the "Main Bearings Grade Chart" to select. NOTE: Grade list applies to all journals. Service parts are available as a set of both upper and lower.
