Crankshaft and crankcase
Check the crank bearing. Check the crank bearing. The
connecting rod shall not have any radial
play (up and down).
It should, however, have axial play, in
order to ensure good lubrication of the
crank bearing among other things.
Check the crankshaft’s bearing and
sealing ring holder. Check for wear on the crankshaft’s
bearing.
Replace the bearing complete with
sealing ring holder. If there are heavy
indentation marks in the seal casing the
holder must be replaced as leakage
can otherwise occur between the
crankcase and bearing.
If the bearing is free from defects, but
the rubber covering on the sealing ring
holder is damaged the holder can be
dismantled from the bearing.
Carefully saw a slot in the cover with a
hacksaw and pry off the sealing ring
holder.
Assembly
Check the crankshaft as set out in the
section ”Checking the crankshaft”.
Check that there is no play on the
spacer washers (A) around the crank
disks.
Fit new bearings on the crankshaft with
the open side facing in towards the
crank disc.
