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 according to the chart below. There are 4 sizes of standard bearings, marked "1", "2", "3" and "4".
EXAMPLE: Cylinder block "3" + Crankshaft "5" = Total number 8 (Use bearing "3")
