MEASUREMENTS - Continued
3.
Measure intermediate main bearing journal runout with dial indicator with magnetic base. Support crankshaft
at front and rear journals on inverted engine block with only front and rear upper bearing shells in place.
When high spots of run out on adjacent journals are in opposite directions, sum must not exceed 0.003 in.
(0.08 mm) total. When high spots of run out on adjacent journals are in same direction, difference must not
exceed 0.003 in. (0.08 mm). When high spots of runout on adjacent journals are at right angles, sum must
not exceed 0.004 in. (0.10 mm) or each journal must not exceed 0.002 in. (0.05 mm).
NOTE
Maximum clearance between connecting rod journal and bearing shell is 0.0041 in.
(0.104 mm) (with new shells). Maximum clearance between main bearing journal and
bearing shell is 0.0040 in. (0.102 mm) (with new shells). Main bearing journal taper or
out-of-round must not exceed 0.003 in. (0.08 mm). Replace crankshaft if measurements
exceed limits.
4.
Measure all main and connecting rod bearing journals. Measure journals at several places on circumference
so that taper (calculated from two end outside diameter measurements of journal), out-of-round, and bearing
clearances can be determined. Measurements must be accurate to nearest 0.0002 in. (0.005 mm).
5.
Measure crankshaft thrust surfaces at points (Figure 5, A) and (Figure 5, B), Dimension (Figure 5, A) must
be 1.299–1.301 in. (32.99–33.05 mm) and dimension (Figure 5, B) must be 1.34 in. (34.0 mm).
