|
Inspection |
1. |
Check the crankshaft bearing oil clearance.
|
2. |
Check crankshaft end play.
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.
If the end play is greater than maximum, replace the thrust bearings as a set.
|
3. |
Inspect main journals and crank pins
Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of each main journal and crank pin.
|
Reassembly |
|
