3. Carefully separate the bedplate from the
crankcase. Use suitable lifting equipment (if the
bedplate is lifted manually, two people will be
required). Do not use a lever to separate the
bedplate.
4. Carefully remove the lower bearing shells from
the bedplate.

Before Installation
1. Clean off all traces of the old sealant compound
from the crankcase and bedplate mating faces.
2. Use a suitable degreasing agent to carefully
clean the main bearing saddles in the bedplate
and crankcase. Take care not to block the oil
ways or the piston cooling jets.
Consumable: Cleaner/Degreaser - General
purpose solvent based parts cleaner
Important: Anaerobic sealant will not start to cure
whilst it is open to the atmosphere, however when
air is excluded (for instance when the two parts are
put together) it will immediately start to harden. Make
sure that all the necessary tools, bolts etc. are readily
available prior to assembling the components. The
parts must be installed and tightened to the correct
torque value within 5min minutes (with a maximum
permissible time of 15min).
Important: Before installing the bedplate: Do not
rotate the crankshaft. Make sure that the upper main
bearing shells are flush with the bottom face of the
crankcase.
Install
Important: The crankshaft half bearings are made of
special material. Therefore, they must be replaced
every time they are removed to prevent seizures.
The lower and upper crankshaft half bearings cannot
be replaced singularly, and both halves must be
replaced together.
1. Make sure that all items are clean and free from
damage and corrosion.
2. Use a suitable degreasing agent to clean both
sides of the lower bearing shells.

purpose solvent based parts cleaner
3. Install the lower bearing shells into the bedplate.
Make sure that the reference notches are at the
correct location.

4. Lubricate the lower bearing shells with clean
engine oil.
5. Install the two shoulder half-rings onto the lower
crankcase. Apply two dots of ITP GX100 grease
to hold the rings in position.
