Mains Jounal Measured with micrometer what colour code is needed ?

(1/5) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Today my BiL measured up my mains journal as follows with a decent micrometer the mains were measured in several places and were nice & round.

Crank Casing Code is CAABA where C is number 1 journal.

In order they were No:1 32.03, No:2 32.03, No:3 32.01, No:4 32.03, No:5 32.03

If the Crank Case Code is applied to the tables we think I need No:1 Blue, No:2 Brown, No:3 Green, No:4 Black, No:5 Brown

Does this look right to the folks here that know if Black is not available we think Brown as the next best alternative?

Or I'm not reading the tables correctly ??

Ted,

better measure those crank journals again.  it should be under the 32 mm size down to 31.97.

What manual are you using?  in the Honda manual no reference is given to the codes on the case, i normally measure the bore of the case. But the Haynes manual does refer to the case codes. i have used them in the past and have not had any problems. ( i still double check with the bore measurements)

I was using the Honda Parts Manual but it seems my Cycleserve Manual gives additional colours !!

I'm going to get the journals checked again myself with a different Micrometer as well.

Something wrong with your measuring, need another 0 and plastigauge is more reliable.  Never seen 4 different shells on a crank ever  ;)

The existing shells are 3 Green &  2 unknown as there is no visible colour markingsf for me it's a conundrum.
