Cylinder block
CAUTION: Be careful; aluminum cylinder block! The crankshaft as well as the pistons must not be removed. Even just by loosening the crankshaft bearing cap bolts, the bearing seats of the cylinder block are already deformed. These deformations reduce the bearing clearance. Even if the bearing shells are not replaced, bearing damage could occur due to the changed bearing clearance. If the bearing cap bolts are loosened, the complete cylinder block with crankshaft and pistons must be replaced. It is not possible to measure crankshaft bearing clearance using workshop equipment.
