CRANKSHAFT TRUING
When rebuilding and straightening a crankshaft, straightness is of utmost importance. Run-out must be as close to
zero as possible.
Before truing the crankshaft lubricate the bearings and clamp the crankshaft securely in the holding fixture. If truing the
crankshaft requires striking with a hammer, support crankshaft to prevent bearing damage and re-check previously
straightened areas to verify trueing. Refer to the illustrations below.
