Engine - Crankshaft Stamping Location Changed

TITLE: Crankshaft Stamping Location Changed

APPLIES TO: 05 Accord 4-cylinder
05 Element

SERVICE TIP:






Starting in January 2005, the location of the crankshaft main journal code was changed on some Ohio-built L4 engines. Crankshafts made through January 27, 2005, have the main journal code stamped on the face of the #1 cylinder counterweight.

The top row has four letters representing the rod journal sizes. The bottom row has five numbers representing the main journal sizes. Both rows from left to right specify the journals from the pulley end to the flywheel end.

Crankshafts made since January 27, 2005, have the same two rows of journal info, but they're now on the rod throw end of the crankshaft and are read from right to left.
