Checking radial clearance
Note:
Radial clearance is measured using Plastigage
.
Plastigage type
Color
Measuring range
PG-1 Green 0.025 - 0.076 mm
PR-1 Red 0.050 - 0.150 mm
- Remove crankshaft bearing cap.
- Clean bearing shell and crankshaft journal.
CAUTION!
Do NOT turn the crankshaft or allow it to rotate during the
measurement with Plastigage in place. -
Place Plastigage on crankshaft journal over entire width of bearing,
or in bearing shell (arrow). - Install crankshaft bearing cap with bearing shell and new bolts.
