Dimension A - B or B - A:

0 to 0.7 mm (0 to 0.0276 in.)

NOTICE:

  • Do not apply engine oil to the No. 2 crankshaft bearings and the contact surfaces.
  • Do not allow coolant to come into contact with the bearing inner surface. If any coolant comes into contact with the bearing inner surface, replace the No. 2 crankshaft bearing with a new one.

8. INSTALL CRANKSHAFT THRUST WASHER
