Check crankshaft alignment (Z 12 XE, Z 12 XEP, Z 14 XEP) > < Remove and install crankshaft (Z 14 XE without air conditioning, Z 16 YNG)

Measure crankshaft (Z 10 XE, Z 10 XEP)

1.   Condition: engine dismantled
2.   Insert 8 crankshaft bearing shells
•   Observe installation position and allocations
•   Note position of axial bearing (arrow)
•   In cylinder block, crankshaft bearing cap
Object Number: 2410552  Size: DEFAULT


3.   Insert crankshaft
•   In cylinder block
4.   Attach crankshaft bearing bridge
•   Observe installation position and allocations
•   Tighten 8 bolts
Note:   Bolts do not have to be replaced when checking crankshaft alignment
Tightening torque 25 Nm + 45° + 15°
5.   Attach MKM-571-B
•   Install MKM-571-B in bracket
•   Fit bracket to transmission side of cylinder block
6.   Adjust MKM-571-B
•   Attach probe to crankshaft flange
•   Attach MKM-571-B under pre-tension
•   Set MKM-571-B to "0"
7.   Measure crankshaft end play
•   Move crankshaft in axial direction
•   Read off test value
Note:   Repeat measurement several times. For permitted crankshaft end play see "Technical Data - crank drive, cylinder block"
Object Number: 2377841  Size: DEFAULT


8.   Detach MKM-571-B
9.   Remove crankshaft bearing bridge
•   Unscrew 8 bolts
Note:   Prise off evenly
10.   Attach MKM-571-B
•   Attach to cylinder block with bracket
11.   Adjust MKM-571-B
•   Place probe against crankshaft bearing journal
•   Attach MKM-571-B under pre-tension
•   Set MKM-571-B to "0"
12.   Measure crankshaft concentricity deviation
•   Turn crankshaft evenly
•   Read off test value
Note:   For permitted crankshaft concentricity deviation see "Technical Data - crank drive, cylinder block"
Object Number: 2377840  Size: DEFAULT


13.   Detach MKM-571-B
14.   Remove crankshaft
15.   Measure diameter of 4 crankshaft bearing journals
•   Measure in 2 places per bearing using micrometer gauge
Note:   Note dimensions - if a dimension is outside the permitted tolerance, the crankshaft must be ground or replaced.
Object Number: 2387881  Size: DEFAULT


16.   Attach 4 crankshaft bearing bridges
•   Tighten 8 bolts
Note:   Bolts do not have to be replaced when checking crankshaft alignment
Tightening torque 25 Nm + 45° + 15°
17.   Set up internal measuring instrument
•   Fit appropriate probe tip to internal measuring instrument
Fit MKM-571-B to internal measuring instrument with approx. 1 mm of pre-tension
•   Slide internal measuring instrument between micrometer gauge test surfaces
•   Determine indicator turning point
Oscillate internal measuring instrument between test surfaces
Set MKM-571-B to "0" at turning point
Object Number: 2417763  Size: DEFAULT


18.   Measure diameter of 8 crankshaft bearing holes
•   Determine turning point in 2 places (I+II) per bearing
Oscillate internal measuring instrument in crankshaft bearing hole
•   Note down the dimensions
19.   Calculate crankshaft bearing play (4 times)
Note:   The crankshaft bearing play is calculated on the basis of the difference between the crankshaft bearing hole and crankshaft bearing journal diameters. For permitted crankshaft bearing play see "Technical Data - crank drive, cylinder block"
Object Number: 2404420  Size: DEFAULT


20.   Remove crankshaft bearing bridge
•   Unscrew 8 bolts
Note:   Prise off evenly
21.   Remove 8 crankshaft bearing shells
22.   Measure diameter of 3 con-rod journals
•   Measure in 2 places (I, II) using micrometer gauge
Note:   Note dimensions - if a dimension is outside the permitted tolerance, the crankshaft must be ground or replaced.
Object Number: 2418016  Size: DEFAULT


23.   Insert 6 con-rod bearing shells
•   Observe installation position and allocations
•   In con-rod, con-rod bearing cap
24.   Attach 3 con-rod bearing caps
Important:   The mating surfaces of the cod-rods and con-rod bearing caps form an individual fit and must not be damaged or interchanged. Do not lay on mating surfaces
•   Observe installation position and allocations
•   Tighten 6 bolts
Note:   Bolts do not have to be replaced when measuring con-rod bearing play.
Tightening torque 10 Nm + 45° + 15°
25.   Reconfigure internal measuring instrument
•   Remove probe tip
•   Fit appropriate probe tip to internal measuring instrument
Fit MKM-571-B to internal measuring instrument with approx. 1 mm of pre-tension
•   Slide internal measuring instrument between micrometer gauge test surfaces
•   Determine indicator turning point
Oscillate internal measuring instrument between test surfaces
Set MKM-571-B to "0" at turning point
26.   Measure diameter of 3 con-rod bearing holes
•   Determine turning point in 2 places (I, II)
Oscillate internal probe in con-rod bearing hole
•   Note down the dimensions
Object Number: 2404422  Size: DEFAULT


27.   Calculate con-rod bearing play (3 times)
Note:   The con-rod bearing play is calculated on the basis of the difference between the con-rod bearing hole and con-rod bearing journal diameters. For permitted con-rod bearing play see "Technical Data - crank drive, cylinder block"
