Crankshaft End Play

NOTE: End play can be adjusted with engine installed in vehicle. Procedure given is with engine removed. Difference occurs as to where dial indicator is mounted.

Use a dial indicator and set it up as shown in Figure. Measure end play by prying against crankshaft and reading dial indicator. Obtained value must lie within specifications. If end play is exceeded, fit oversize thrust washers to rear main bearing.
