tion Removing the pulley.

6. Lift out the crankshaft.
Checking and grinding
- Measure the crankshaft journals. Use a
micrometer to measure two diameters at right
angles to each other.
- If either of these diameters is lower than the
minimum indicated limit, regrinding of the
crankshaft should be considered.
- Consideration must also be given to oil
pressure, which is in turn affected by such
things as main bearing and crankshaft bearing
wear.
The main bearings and bearing caps are marked and must be
retted in the same place.
