Grinding of crankshaft
CAUTION
• If the crankshaft pins and journals are ground to undersiz-
es, be sure to use bearings of corresponding undersizes.
• Check the measurement in the table of service standards and
correct the crankshaft as follows.
• Do not change the center-to-center distance A between the
journal and pin.
• Do not change the journal width B and the pin width C.
• Finish the fillets D smoothly.
• Carry out a magnetic inspection to check for cracks possibly
caused by grinding. Also, check that the hardness of the sur-
face has not dropped below Shore hardness number (Hs) 75.
• If there is any abnormality, replace the crankshaft.

• When grinding, turn both the crankshaft and the grinder counter-
clockwise as viewed from the crankshaft front end.
• When finishing the crankshaft with whestone or sandpaper, ro-
tate the crankshaft clockwise.
Inspection: Distortion of crankcase top surface
• If the measurement exceeds the limit, correct the crankcase top
surface with a surface grinder.
CAUTION
• Do not grind the crankcase top surface so much as to com-
promise the correct piston protrusion.
