Thrust Bearing Alignment

  1. With crankshaft installed and main bearing caps tightened, attach a dial indicator to crankcase with arm against flywheel end of crankshaft. Pry crankshaft back and forth to measure end play.
  2. If end play is more than 0.0137" (0.35 mm), remove flywheel end main bearing cap and install oversize thrust rings. Thrust rings are available in 0.005" (0.13 mm) oversize. Install thrust rings with grooves facing crankshaft shoulder.
