Checking dimensions of crankshaft
• If measured bearing play was too large, the di-
mensions of the crankshaft must be checked.
Regrinding stages “0” and “1” are available; the
crankshaft is marked with the appropriate
number of paint spots at the bearing point. If
there are no paint spots, this indicates regrinding
stage “0”.
