Determined by match of cylinder block bearing housing grade (inner diameter of housing) and crankshaft journal grade (outer diameter of journal) |
| Between crankshaft and connecting rod |

Connecting rod bearing grade (bearing thickness) |
Combining service grades for connecting rod big end diameter and crankshaft pin outer diameter determine connecting rod bearing selection. |

- The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition. This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
- For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the measurement with the values of each selection table.
- For details of the measurement method of each part, the reuse standards and the selection method of the selective fitting parts, refer to the text.
