B. Inspection
1. Measure crankshaft run out
Support both ends of the crankshaft on
V-block and measure the amount of bend
in the crankshaft by applying a dial
gauge to the center journal and rotating
the crankshaft.
If the runout beyonds
the serviceable limit on the dial gauge,
the crankshaft should be replaced.
2. Inspect the crankshaft journals for scoring
and uneven wear with a micrometer.
If any journal is out-of -round or tapered
more than serviceable limit, the cranks ha£
t
should be replaced.
