Measuring the Crank Pins and the Main
Bearing Journals
• Measure the outside diameter, roundness and
taper at each crank pin and journal as shown in
Figure 5-60 and Figure 5-61.

• Resurface the crankshaft pins and main bearing
journals if measurements exceed the listed
specifications.
• Replace if the defect is excessive.
NOTICE: To determine the oil clearance of the
crank pin, measure the inside diameter of the
connecting rod crank pin bearing.
Inspecting the End Play of the Crankshaft
• Assemble the crankshaft to the engine block.
• Tighten the main bearing caps to the specified
torque.
• Move the crankshaft along its horizontal axis from
end to end.
• Install a dial indicator (Figure 5-62, (1)) on one
end of the crankshaft to measure crankshaft end
play.
