Crankshaft: Service and Repair
Cleaning and Inspection
VISUAL INSPECTION
The crankshaft journals should be checked for excessive wear, taper and scoring. Limits of taper or out-of-round on any crankshaft journals should
be held to 0.025 mm (0.001 inch). Journal grinding should not exceed 0.305 mm (0.012 inch) under the standard journal diameter. DO NOT
grind thrust faces of Number 2 main bearing. DO NOT nick crank pin or bearing fillets. After grinding, remove rough edges from crankshaft oil
holes and clean out all passages.
CAUTION: With a forged steel crankshaft it is important that the final paper or cloth polish after any journal regrind be in the same direction as normal
rotation in the engine.
