The letter (1) denotes the crankshaft construction stage.

S= Series
B= Construction stage 1
C= Construction stage 2

The numbers (2) denote the bearing shell classification for the relevant bearing position from 1 to 5 (main bearing cap).

1= yellow
2= green
3= violet

Checking main bearing clearance:

To check crankshaft bearing clearance, use old main bearing screws.

There must be no oil in the blind holes (risk of cracking).

Do not twist crankshaft.

Fit special tool 00 2 590 (Plastigage Type PG 1) to the oil-free crankshaft.

NOTE: Always replace main bearing bolts of main bearing caps with new bolts.

Do not wash off bolt coating.

No oil is permitted in the blind bores! (Danger of cracking).

Tightening specifications for main bearing:

1. Tighten all screws on main bearing cover with jointing torque.

2. Unfasten screws on main bearing cover 5.

3. Strike back and front of crankshaft with plastic hammer to center thrust bearing (do not damage crankshaft).

Check axial play.

Check guide bearing shell, crankshaft and crankcase if necessary.

4. Tighten screws of main bearing cover 5 with jointing torque.

5. Tightening torque 11 11 2AZ.
