Crankshaft, Cylinder Block – 3.6L CDVB
Allocation of Crankshaft Bearing
Shells for Cylinder Block
The main bearing shells with the correct thickness are
allocated to the cylinder block and crankshaft in the
factory. Colored dots identify the bearing thickness.
Allocate the bearing shells if the cylinder block
or crankshaft are being replaced.
The bearing shell for the cylinder block (upper bearing
shell) is always marked with a yellow dot.
Using the letters on the cylinder block and crankshaft,
determine the correct color identification for the bearing
shell in the bearing cap (lower bearing shell). The first letter
is for bearing cap 1, the second for bearing cap 2, etc.
