6-17. Repair
a. Crankshafts .
(1) Replace crankshafts that are deepl y
scratched, nicked, burred, scuffed or galled .
Minor imperfections in the journals may b e
repaired by polishing with a crocus cloth dipped
in dry-cleaning solvent or mineral spirits pain t
thinner .
(2) Crankshafts that are worn beyon d
standard wear limits specified in the overhau l
standards (table 6-9) or with journal or crank -
case damage may be ground undersize to th e
limits established for crankshaft rework (table 6-
9) .
(3) In the event any of the crankpins o r
journals are found unserviceable, it will b e
necessary to polish or grind all crankpins o r
journals uniformly undersize to maintain th e
balance of the crankshaft. Extreme care must be
taken when regrinding, to maintain the con -
centricity of the entire crankshaft and not t o
exceed a surface roughness of 12 micro inches .
All radii on the crankpins and journals, effected
by grinding undersize, must be re-established to
original configuration .
The crankshaft nitrid e
finish of crankpins and journals must be in -
spected by magnaflux or similar method fo r
fractures and surface cracks after finishing .
(4) Replace dowel pins (18 fig. B-3) an d
straight pins (25) in crankshaft flange if pins do
not fit securely in flange, are out-of-round or if
pins do not conform to limits specified in the
overhaul standards (table 6-9) .
Note.
The headless grooved dowel pins in th e
flywheel end flanges are available in 0.005 and
0.010 in. oversize. Ream crankshaft flywhee l
mounting flange to necessary oversize dimen -
sions and install new pins. Whenever oversiz e
pins are used, it will be necessary to ream the
flywheel and transmission drive gearshaft ac -
cordingly .
(5) Replace a cracked crankshaft or a
crankshaft showing evidence of wear due to bent
or twisted connecting rods .
b. Connecting Rods and Bearings .
(1) Connecting rod bolts .
(a) Replace bolts that do not fit snugly in
rod and cap .
(b) Replace bolt s
that have damage d
threads, galled pilot diameters, or diameters tha t
are not within limits specified in overhau l
standards
(table
6-9).
(c) Replace bolts that are cracked o r
scratched, o r
tha t
sho w
an y
evidence o f
stretching .
(2)
Connecting rod bearings.
Replace al l
bearings that do not check within limits specified
in overhaul standards (table 6-9) or whe n
bearings do not show 75 percent contact b y
Prussian blue transfer after bore check .
(3) Connecting rod assembly.
Discard con -
nectin g
rod s
that are bent or distorted .
Straightening of connecting rods is not per -
mitted. Break and polish sharp edges at con -
necting rod counterbore and rod contour (fig. 6 -
35). Replace connecting rod assemblies whic h
are not within limits specified in overhau l
standards (table 6-9). Connecting rods wit h
worn or damaged piston pin bearing may b e
repaired. Replace worn or damaged piston pi n
bushing-type bearing using an arbor press .
Bearing split line must be 90 degrees fro m
longitudinal center line. Line-ream new bearing
to size shown in overhaul standards (table 6-9) .
