Before starting the installation work, clean the bearing centre line and the journals of the crankshaft again using a microfibre cloth.
To make sure you have the correct components, compare the old bearing shells with the new ones. Are the oil bores in the same position and do the oil grooves have the same design?
Ensure a precise fit when inserting the bearings. When assigning the bearing shells in the main bearing centre line, the position of the flanged bearing and the thrust washers is particularly important. Also observe the design of the individual bearing shells and the position of the oil bores. Sputter bearings are often used at the points that are subjected to higher loads.
The oil bores must be clean and clear when the bearings are inserted. The next step is to oil the sliding surfaces and carefully insert the crankshaft. Then position and tighten the bearing caps.
