  5. Using the data recorded earlier and the Bearing Select Fit Chart, Standard Bearings Chart determine the required bearing grade for each main bearing.
    • Read the first letter of the engine block main bearing code and the first letter of the crankshaft main bearing code.
    • Read down the column below the engine main bearing code letter, and across the row next to the crankshaft main bearing code letter, until the 2 intersect. This is the required bearing grade for the No. 1 crankshaft main bearing.
    • As an example, if the engine block code letter is "F" and the crankshaft code letter is "D," the correct bearing grade for this main bearing is "2."
    • Repeat this process for the remaining 4 main bearings.
