CRANKSHAFT PIN JOURNAL DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft pin journal with a micrometer.
If out of the standard, measure the connecting rod bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing.
OUT-OF-ROUND AND TAPER OF CRANKSHAFT
Measure the dimensions at four different points as shown in the
figure on each main journal and pin journal with a micrometer.
Out-of-round is indicated by the difference in dimensions between
“X” and “Y” at “A” and “B”.
Taper is indicated by the difference in dimension between “A” and
“B” at “X” and “Y”.
If the measured value exceeds the limit, correct or replace crankshaft.
If corrected, measure the bearing oil clearance of the corrected main journal and/or pin journal. Then select
main bearing and/or connecting rod bearing.
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on
the both end of crankshaft.
Place a dial indicator (A) straight up on the No. 3 journal.
While rotating crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer on the
dial indicator. (Total indicator reading)
If it exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by Calculation
Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-101, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
Measure the inner diameter of connecting rod bearing with an
inside micrometer.
(Bearing oil clearance) = (Connecting rod bearing inner diameter)
– (Crankshaft pin journal diameter)
If the clearance exceeds the limit, select proper connecting rod
bearing according to connecting rod big end diameter and crank-
shaft pin journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clear-
ance. Refer to EM-117, "
Connecting Rod Bearing".
Method of Using Plastigage
Remove engine oil and dust on crankshaft pin and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.
Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and cap, and tighten connecting rod bolts to the specified
