Measuring (On bench)
Once engine is disassembled, check crankshaft
deflection on V-shaped blocks. If deflection ex-
ceeds the specified tolerance, it can be worn
bearings or a bent crankshaft. Remove crankshaft
bearings and check deflection again on V-shaped
blocks to determine the defective part(s). See
measurement A in following illustration.
TYPICAL
1. Measure at mid point between the key and the first thread
A. See table below
Crankshaft Deflection on PTO Side
Crankshaft Deflection on MAG Side
Crankshaft Deflection in Center of
Crankshaft
NOTE :
Crankshaft deflection can not be
correctly measured between centers of a
lathe.
If the deflection exceeds the specified tolerance,
crankshaft should be repaired or replaced.
CONNECTING ROD BIG END
AXIAL PLAY
Using a feeler gauge, measure distance between
thrust washer and crankshaft counterweight. If
the distance exceeds specified tolerance, repair or
replace the crankshaft.
