If the oil clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the crankshaft bearing. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
HINT:
- If replacing a bearing, select a new one with the same number. If the number of the bearing cannot be determined, calculate the correct bearing number by adding together the numbers imprinted on the cylinder block and crankshaft. Then select a new bearing with the calculated number. There are 4 sizes of standard bearings, marked "1", "2", "3" and "4" accordingly.
- EXAMPLE: Cylinder block "3" + Crankshaft "5" = Total number 8 (Use bearing "3")
