MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT DIAMETER





^ Check for bolts (M9 and M12) installed from lower side using the following procedure.

NOTE:
^ Side bolt (Ml0) is outside the target.
^ Figure shows M12 bolt.

^ Measure bolt diameter "d1" from tip of the bolt to dimension "a".
^ Measure bolt diameter "d2" from the dimension between tip of the bolt and dimension "b" as base station to dimension "c".

NOTE: If a narrower part in the threads is determined by visual check, measure "d2" at that point.

^ Calculate the difference between "d1" and "d2".
