Remove components as required for access and proceed as
follows.
Remove the oil pan, see Section 4.27.
Remove the oil pump pick-up pipes (3 Fig. I), see Section
Remove the crankshaft windage trays (6 Fig. 1).
. Mount a suitable dial gauge and position the stylus on the
crankshaft front pulley.
. Zero the gauge, and with the use of a suitable lever,
measure the crankshaft end-float (Fig. 2). For the correct
end-float, see Service Data in the Preliminary Pages.
If the end-float exceeds the tolerances, remove the center
main bearing cap, and renew the thrust washers.
&&: When refitting the thrust washers, ensure that the
bearing face (grooved) (1 Fig. 3) and not the steel
side contacts the crankshaft.
. Recheck the end-float and if satisfactory, clean the main
bearing cap and bearing, lubricate with clean engine oil
and
fit the cap assembly to the cylinder block.
