Crankshaft And Crankshaft Bearing

  1. Clean the crankshaft completely, and check it for cracks using liquid penetrant tester. Replace if defective.
  2. Measure warping of the crankshaft. If it exceeds the limit, repair or replace it.
    NOTE: If a suitable V-block is not available, install #1 and #5 crankshaft bearing on cylinder block, position the crankshaft on these bearings, and then measure the crankshaft bend using a dial gauge.

    Crankshaft bend limit: 0.035 mm (0.0014 in)

  3. Inspect the crank journal and crank pin for wear. If they are not within the specification, replace the bearing with a suitable (undersize) one, and replace or readjust crankshaft as necessary. When grinding the crank journal or crank pin, finish them to the specified dimensions according to the undersize bearing to be used.

    Crank pin: 

    Out-of-roundness 0.003 mm (0.0001 in) 

    Cylindrically 0.004 mm (0.0002 in) 

    Grinding limit (dia.) 

    To 51.750 mm (2.0374 in) 

    Crank journal: 

    Out-of-roundness 0.005 mm (0.0002 in) 

    Cylindrically 0.006 mm (0.0002 in) 

    Grinding limit (dia.) To 59.750 mm (2.3524 in)

  4. Measure the thrust clearance of crankshaft at center bearing. If clearance exceeds the standard, replace the bearing.

    Crankshaft side clearance: 

    Standard 0.030 - 0.115 mm (0.0012 - 0.0045 in)

  5. Inspect individual crankshaft bearings for signs of flaking, seizure, melting and wear.
  6. Measure the oil clearance on each crankshaft bearing using plastigage. If the measured value is out of standard, replace the defective bearing with an undersize one, and replace or recondition the crankshaft as necessary.

    Crankshaft oil clearance: 

    Standard 0.010 - 0.030 mm (0.0004 - 0.0012 in)
