Connecting Rod Bearing: Testing and Inspection
Crankshaft, Clearance
Checking Crankshaft Clearances
Clean the crankshaft and use a micrometer to measure the crankpins and main journals. Measurements should be taken at several points round the
circumference. Main journal and crankpin out-of-round (ovality) should not exceed 0.05 mm. If the measurements are close to or in excess of this
limit, the crankshaft should be ground down to the specified undersize. Crankpins can be ground down to the first undersize using a straight grinding
wheel. If they are ground down beyond that, a grinding wheel capable of grinding radii must be used since undercutting only suffices to the first
undersize. Check that the shaft is straight to within 0.10 mm, using a dial gauge. Place the shaft with crankpins No. 1 and No. 5 in V-blocks on a flat
and level bench. Apply a dial gauge to the middle crankpin and rotate the shaft.
