Housing Face Measurement Points And Sample Readings
3. Measure and record face runout at four points 90° apart around the housing face. Perform the measurement at least twice for accuracy.
Measuring Clutch Housing Face Runout
4. Subtract the lowest reading from the highest to determine total runout. As an example, refer to the sample readings shown. If the low reading was
minus 0.004 inch and the highest reading was plus 0.009 inch, total runout is actually 0.013 inch.
5. Total allowable face runout is 0.010 inch. If runout exceeds this figure, runout will have to be corrected. Refer to Correcting Clutch Housing Face
Runout.
