Commercially available tools

Number Designation
WH58.30-Z-1001-12A Quick calipers for internal measurements
WH58.30-Z-1012-12A Setting gage for micrometer
  1. Measure width of fit bearing on crankcase and on fit bearing cap, note.
  2. Measure width of fit bearing at crankshaft, note.
  3. Determine thickness of thrust washer

    IMPORTANT Thrust washers of the same thickness must always be inserted in the crankcase and in the fit bearing cap.
