Crankshaft: Testing and Inspection
Pin/Journal Oil Clearance (Feeler Gauge Method)

1. If the oil clearance exceeds the limit, replace the bearing, and crankshaft if necessary.
2. Measure the outside diameter of the journals and the inside diameter of the crankshaft bearings. If the difference between them (oil clearance)

exceeds the limit, replace the crankshaft bearing and, if necessary, crankshaft.
Standard value: 0.02 - 0.04 mm (0.0008 - 0.0016 inch)
Limit: 0.1 mm (.004 inch)

NOTE:  Do not attempt an undersize machining of the crankshaft with special surface treatment. This crankshaft can be identified by its dull gray
appearance.
