Perkins Phaser Series - Thrust Washers; To Check Crankshaft End-Float

14 CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY
Thrust washers
To check crankshaft end-float14A-04
The axial movement of the crankshaft is controlled
by two half thrust washers fitted both sides of the
centre main bearing (A). The end-float can be
checked with a feeler gauge between a thrust
washer and the crankshaft (B), or with a dial test
indicator on one end of the crankshaft to check the
movement (C).
If the end-float is more than the tolerance given in
data and dimensions, thrust washers which are
0,019 mm (0.0075 in) oversize can be fitted.
The oversize thrust washers can be fitted to one or
to both sides of the main bearing. They are fitted
instead of the standard size washer, to reduce the
end-float to the factory tolerances.
