The crankshaft is supported by five crankshaft bearings and bearing caps. The crankshaft thrust main bearing (No. 3 bearing insert) limits crankshaft end play and absorbs axial thrust loads applied to the crankshaft ends. The camshaft sprocket, crankshaft sprocket and timing chain/belt connect the crankshaft with the camshaft and provide a 2:1 drive ratio.
