4. Measure the thickness
of the bearing shells
at point "C", 900
from the parting line.
Tool J5347-01, placed
between the bearing
shell and a micrometer,
will give an accurate
measurement. The bear-
ing shell thickness
will be the total
thickness of the steel
ball in the tool, and
the bearing shell,
less the diameter of
the ball. This is the
only practical method
for measuring bearing
thickness, unless a
special micrometer is
available for this
purpose. The minimum
thickness of a worn
standard main bearing
shell is .1540 inch
(0.3912 cm) and, if
any of the bearing
shells are thinner
than this dimension,
replace all of the
bearing shells. A
new standard bearing
shell has a thickness
of .1545 to .1552 inch
(0.3932 to 0.3957 cm).
