Check big-end bearing clearances

NOTE: Big-end bearing shells are available
in 3 sizes - Standard, 0.25 (0.01 in) and
0.50 (0.02 in) oversize and are colour

coded RED or BLUE. Additionally, the connecting
rod bearing shell is of the ’sputter’ type and can
be identified by a letter S or a series of XXX on the
outside of the shell. Sputter bearings must be
fitted to the connecting rod.

13. Fit a new RED colour coded big-end bearing

shell of the appropriate size in connecting rod.

CAUTION: Ensure bearing shell is of the
’sputter’ type.

14. Fit a new BLUE colour coded big-end bearing

shell of the appropriate size in the big-end
bearing cap.

CAUTION: Do not fit a ’sputter’ bearing to
bearing cap.

15. Place a strip of Plastigage across crankshaft

big-end journal.

16. Pull connecting rod on to journal.
17. Fit big-end bearing cap ensuring reference

marks on connecting rod and cap are aligned.

18. Fit original big-end bearing cap bolts and tighten

to:
Stage 1 -

5 Nm (4 lbf.ft)

Stage 2 -

20 Nm (15 lbf.ft)

Stage 3 - Use angular torque wrench and tighten
further 70

°

CAUTION: Do not rotate crankshaft.

19. Remove big-end bearing cap.

20. Using scale provided, measure width of

Plastigage on bearing journal and compare with
bearing clearance:
Big-end bearing clearance = 0.010 to 0.055 mm
(0.0004 to 0.002 in)

21. If correct clearance cannot be obtained with

bearing shells available, crankshaft journals
must be ground to next undersize and the
appropriate oversize big-end bearing shells
fitted.
