CRANKSHAFT

Crankshaft Inspection

  1. 1
    Check crankshaft main and pin journals for score, wear or cracks.
  2. 2
    With a micrometer, measure journals for taper and out-of-round.

  3. 3
    Measure crankshaft runout.

BEARING CLEARANCE

Method A (Using bore gauge & micrometer)

Main bearing

Main Bearing Clearance — Method A

  1. 1
    Set main bearings in their proper positions on cylinder block and main bearing cap.
    Main bearing halves arranged showing front orientation
    SEM617
  2. 2
    Install main bearing cap to cylinder block. Tighten all bolts in correct order in two or three stages.
  3. 3
    Measure inner diameter "A" of each main bearing.
    Bore gauge measuring inner diameter of main bearing installed in cylinder block
    SEM1548
  4. 4
    Measure outer diameter "Dm" of each crankshaft main journal.
    Micrometer measuring outer diameter of crankshaft main journal
    SEM506A
  5. 5
    Calculate main bearing clearance. Main bearing clearance = A - Dm
  6. 6
    If it exceeds the limit, replace bearing.
  7. 7
    If clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard of any bearing, grind crankshaft journal and use undersized bearing.
Main bearing clearance — StandardMain bearing clearance = A - Dm
0.021 - 0.048mm (0.0008 - 0.0019 in)
Main bearing clearance — LimitMain bearing clearance = A - Dm
0.1mm (0.004 in)
