•   Set MKM-571-B to "0"
6.   Measure crankshaft end play
•   Move crankshaft
•   Read off test value
Note:   Repeat measurement several times. For permitted crankshaft end play see "Technical Data - crank drive, cylinder block"
7.   Detach MKM-571-B
8.   Remove 5 crankshaft bearing covers
•   Slacken in depicted order
•   Unscrew 10 bolts
Object Number: 2405635  Size: DEFAULT


9.   Attach MKM-571-B
•   Attach to cylinder block with bracket
Object Number: 2377840  Size: DEFAULT


10.   Adjust MKM-571-B
•   Place probe against crankshaft bearing journal
•   Attach MKM-571-B under pre-tension
•   Set MKM-571-B to "0"
11.   Measure crankshaft concentricity deviation
•   Turn crankshaft evenly
•   Read off test value
Note:   For permitted crankshaft concentricity deviation see "Technical Data - Crank Drive, Cylinder Block"
12.   Detach MKM-571-B
13.   Remove crankshaft
•   Remove 2 thrust rings
14.   Measure diameter of 5 crankshaft bearing journals
•   Measure in 2 places (I + II) per bearing using micrometer gauge
Note:   Note dimensions - if a dimension is outside the permitted tolerance, the crankshaft must be ground or replaced.

16.   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

17.   Measure diameter of 10 crankshaft bearing holes
•   Determine turning point 2 places (I + II) per bearing
Oscillate internal measuring instrument in crankshaft bearing hole
•   Note down the dimensions
Object Number: 2404420  Size: DEFAULT


18.   Calculate crankshaft bearing play (5 times)
Note:   The crankshaft bearing play is calculated on the basis of the difference between the crankshaft bearing bore and crankshaft bearing journal diameters. For permitted crankshaft bearing play see "Technical Data - crank drive, cylinder block"
•   When selecting main bearing shells the following must be taken into consideration:
The main bearing shells are divided into three classes. The class depends on the bore diameter for the main bearing shells in the cylinder block and is identified by a number per main bearing shell in the cylinder block, see F4489 above.
The inner diameter of the main bearing shells depends on the outer diameter of the main bearing journals. Depending on the diameter, the crankshaft cheeks are marked with "-" or "- -". The numbers (1 to 5) relate to the respective main bearing journals. The (1) relates to the left-hand main bearing journals shown at the bottom of figure F4489, and the others relate to the right-hand main bearing journals. Bearing shells with appropriate play can be selected using these identifiers - see "Technical Data".
