obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller
bearings. replace the crankshaft and start over.

Crankshaft
Inspection
1. Clean the crankshaft oil passages with pipe cleaners
or a suitable brush.
2. Check the keyway and threads.
Alignment
3. Measure the runout on all main journals to make
sure the crank is not bent. The difference between
measurements on each journal must not be more
than the service limit.

2. Set the crankshatt to BDC for each cylinder.3. Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends of theconnecting rod bolts.
4. lnstall the ring compressor, and check that the bear-ang is securely in place.
5. Position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in usingthe wooden handle of a hammer. Maintain down-ward force on the ring compressor to prevent ringstrom expanding before entering the cylinder bore.6.

bearing is replaced, it is necessary after reassembly
to run the engine at idling speed until it reaches
normal operating temperature, then continue to run
it for approximatelY 15 minutes.
