Crankshaft Bend

1. Hold  the  2  end  journals  of  crankshaft  with  V  blocks  on  the

surface plate.

2. Set a dial indicator with its point on the middle journal.

3. Turn  the  crankshaft  slowly  and  read  the  variation  on  the

indicator.

4. If the measurement is more than the allowable limit, replace the

crankshaft.

Oil Clearance between Crankpin and Crankpin Bearing

1. Clean the crankpin and crankpin bearing.

2. Put a strip of plastigauge on the center of the crankpin.

3. Install the connecting rod cap and tighten the connecting rod

screws to the specified torque, and remove the cap again.

4. Measure the width that it becomes flat with the scale to get the

oil clearance.

5. If the oil clearance is more than the allowable limit, replace the

crankpin bearing.

6. If the same dimension bearing is not applicable because of the

crankpin wear, replace it with an undersize one. Refer to the

table and figure.

NOTE

• Do not put the plastigauge into the crankpin oil hole.
• When you tighten the connecting rod screws, do not move

the crankshaft.
