EAS1SM1286CHECKING THE CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY
1. Measure:
• Crankshaft runout
Out of specification Replace the crank-
shaft, bearing or both.
TIP

• Big end side clearance D “a”
Out of specification Replace the big end
bearing, crankshaft pin, or connecting rod.
3. Measure:
• Crankshaft width A “a”
Out of specification Replace the crank-
shaft.
4. Check:
• Crankshaft sprocket “1”
Damage Replace the crankshaft.
5. Check:
• Crankshaft journal oil passage
