ENGINE MECHANICAL 6A – 79

CRANKSHAFT AND BEARING

Inspect the surface of the crankshaft journals and crankpins for
excessive wear and damage.

Inspect the oil seal fitting surfaces for excessive wear and
damage.

Inspect the oil ports for obstructions.

NOTE:

To increase crankshaft strength, tufftriding (Nitrizing
Treatment) has been applied. Because of this, it is not
possible to regrind the crankshaft surfaces.

Therefore, under size bearing are not available.

Crankshaft Run-Out

1. Set a dial indicator to the center of the crankshaft journal.

2. Gently turn the crankshaft in the normal direction of

rotation.

Read the dial indicator as you turn the crankshaft.

If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the
crankshaft must be replaced.

Use a vernier caliper to measure the bearing spread.

If the measured value is less than the specified limit, the
bearing must be replaced.

Crankshaft Journal and Crankpin Diameter

1. Use a micrometer to measure the crankshaft journal

diameter across points 1 - 1 and 2 - 2.

2. Use the micrometer to measure the crankshaft journal

diameter at the two points (3 and 4).

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to measure the crankpin diameter.

If the measured values are less than the specified limit, the
crankshaft must be replaced.

Clearance Measurements (With Plastigage)

Crankshaft Journal and Bearing Clearance

1. Clean the cylinder body, the journal bearing fitting surface,

the bearing caps, and the bearings.

2. Install the bearings to the cylinder body.

3. Carefully place the crankshaft on the bearings.

4. Rotate the crankshaft approximately 30

°

to seat the

bearing.

5. Place the Plastigage (arrow) over the crankshaft journal

across the full width of the bearing.

6. Install the bearing caps with the bearing.

7. Tighten the bearing caps to the specified torque.

9. Compare the width of the Plastigage attached to either the

crankshaft or the bearing against the scale printed on the
Plastigage container.

If the measured value exceeds the limit, perform the
following additional steps.

1. Use a micrometer to measure the crankshaft outside

diameter.

2. Use an inside dial indicator to measure the bearing

inside diameter.

If the crankshaft journal and bearing clearance
exceeds the limit, the crankshaft and/or the bearing
must be replaced.

Crankpin and Bearing Clearance

1. Clean the crankshaft, the connecting rod, the bearing cap,

and the bearings.

2. Install the bearing to the connecting rod and the bearing

cap.

Do not allow the crankshaft to move when installing the
bearing cap.

3. Prevent the connecting rod from moving.

4. Attach the Plastigage to the crankpin.

Apply engine oil to the Plastigage to keep it from falling.

5. Install the bearing cap and tighten it to the two step of

anglar tihtening method.

Do not allow the connecting rod to move when installing
and tightening the bearing cap.
