Allocation of main bearing shells  
Bearing shells of the correct thickness are allocated to the cylin‐  
der block at the factory. Coloured dots are used to identify the  
thickness of the bearing shells.  
Which bearing shell is to be inserted at each place in the cylin‐  
der block (upper bearing shell) is marked by letters on the lower  
sealing surface or on the front side of cylinder block.  
Which bearing shell is to be inserted at each place in bearing  
cap (lower bearing shell) is marked by letters on the crankshaft.

Sequence of operations  
Note  
Do not interchange used bearings.  
Bearing shells worn down to nickel layer must be renewed.  
– Remove crankshaft bearing cap, and clean bearing cap and  
bearing journal.  
– Place a length of Plastigage corresponding to the width of  
the bearing on the bearing journal or bearing shell.  
The Plastigage must be positioned in the centre of the bear‐  
ing shell.  
– Fit crankshaft bearing cap, and tighten using old bolts  
-1 to 10- ⇒ page 113 . Make sure not to rotate crankshaft  
while tightening.  
Note  
Disregard bolts -arrows A-.  
– Remove crankshaft bearing cap again.  
– Compare width of Plastigage with the measurement scale.  
Radial clearance:  
New: 0.017 … 0.037 mm  
Wear limit: 0.15 mm

– Unscrew conrod bearing cap.  
– Remove crankshaft bearing cap.  
– Remove crankshaft and unscrew sender wheel.  
Installing  
Installation is carried out in the reverse order. When installing,  
note the following:  
– Renew sender wheel -2- each time bolts -1- are loosened.  
Note  
The second time the bolts are tightened, the contact points  
in the sender wheel for the countersunk heads are deformed  
so much that the bolt heads seat on the crankshaft -3-,  
-arrows- and the sender wheel is loose under the bolts.  
The sender wheel can only be installed in one position; the  
holes are offset.  
– When the sender wheel is renewed, the adaption values  
must be erased if this function is available in the engine/mo‐  
tor control unit. To do this, connect vehicle diagnostic tester,  
switch on ignition, and select the following menu option:  
0001 - Engine electronics, functions  
0001 - Reset adaptation values of engine ctrl.
