All vehicles 

  1. NOTE: This procedure is for selecting bearings using a new crankshaft.

    Select the crankshaft main bearings for each crankshaft journal.

    • Read the code on the crankshaft flange.
    • Read the code on the cylinder block face.
      • The first letter after the first asterisk makes up the code for main No. 1 and the next letter for main No. 2. The first letter after the second asterisk makes up the code for main No. 3 and the last letter for main No. 4.
    Fig 6: Locating Crankshaft Flange

  2. Using the chart, choose a bearing for each main. Match the block and crankshaft code with its corresponding column or row, by reading across the "crankshaft" row and down the "block" column.
    • If the block code is *BM*QS* and the crankshaft code is *OL*PO*, Main No. 1 should be built with grade 1 bearings, as determined by the intersection of the B block column and the O crankshaft row on the chart. Mains No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 should all be grade 2.
