Crankshaft: Testing and Inspection
Journal
Inspect the main journal and connecting rod journal diameters. Measure the diameter of each journal at two different points in the directions as shown.
The standard main journal diameter is 67.483-67.503 mm (2.6568-2.6575 inch).
The standard connecting rod journal diameter is 52.988-53.003 mm (2.0859-2.0867 inch).
If a main journal or connecting rod journal diameter is less than specifications, grind the journal to match an undersize bearing.
