4.9 Measuring clearance between main bear-
ing and crankshaft journal
&$87,21
(a) When grinding crank journals, be sure to grind all
the journals to the same size.
(b) Finish the fillet radius to the specified dimension.
(1) Reassemble main bearings.
(2) Tighten the main bearing caps to the specified torque.
(3) Measure the inside diameter of the main bearings.
(4) Measure the outside diameter of the crank journal.
(5) Calculate the clearance between the inside diameter of
the main bearing and outside diameter of the crank
journal.
(6) Replace the main bearing if the clearance exceeds the
limit.
(7) Measure the clearance between the main bearing cap
and the crank journal again. Use the undersize bearing
if the limit is exceeded.
(8) If an undersize bearing is used, grind the crank journal
to the specified undersize.
