The difference between the values shown shows the crank deflection during one full
turn of the crankshaft (Fig. 2).
Where values are measured that are more than the maximum permitted limits, the
cause must be found. The necessary procedures must then be done to repair the
problem (defective main bearing, engine stay changed because of hull deformation,
loose hold-down bolts, defective propeller shaft bearings or equipment 94305, etc.).
The limits are applicable for all conditions of ship service after delivery, i.e.:
D The draught and trim are in the limits for usual operation.
D The engine is stopped and is hot or cold.
D If the engine is in a cold condition the tank heating (which is close to or below the
main engine and the pre-heater of the main lubricating oil separator) must not be
in operation for a minimum of eight hours before the procedure given in
paragraph 2.
