1. Reposition the dial indicator plunger on the housing face (Fig. 18). Place the indicator plunger at the rim of the housing bore as shown.
2. Rotate the crankshaft until the indicator plunger is at the 10 o'clock position on the bore. Then zero the dial indicator.
3. Measure and record face runout at four points 90° apart around the housing face (Fig. 19) . Perform the measurement at least twice for accuracy.
4. Subtract the lowest reading from the highest to determine total runout. As an example, refer to the sample readings shown (Fig. 21). If the low
reading was minus 0.004 in. and the highest reading was plus 0.009 in. , total runout is actually 0.013 inch.
