Place a .0005" indicator against the motor mount

and hand jog the C-axis to check the runout.

Loosen the 4 bolts and adjust the cylinder block

until the runout is between .0003-.0005".

Torque the 4 cylinder block bolts and check (by

jogging) to see that the axis runs smoothly and is

still in the .0003-.0005" range for runout.

Make sure to pull back the indicator before

disengaging the C-axis. You can use M155 or E-

stop for disengaging it.
