    Looking for a little help here.

    Does anyone have the dimensions of z14 xep crankshaft?

    I have crankshaft removed, main bearings need to be replaced but I'm wondering what diameter the shaft should be.

    Thank you in advance.

    They'd be coded usually - colours on the shells

    see the attached pic for the kind of thing i'm on about

    WARNING :
    these may not be about the engine you have - get it wrong and you'll destroy the crank and engine case

    Get a look at the proper manual

    Get a suitably sized micrometer/vernier caliper and ask a motor factor what undersize bearing shells (for the possibility the crank was reground) are available for your engine. Any markings on the old shells?

    If you're getting the journals ground undersize surely the machine shop will supply the correct shells?
