Out-of-round and taper (uneven wear):
An unevenly worn crankshaft journal shows
up as a difference in diameter at a cross
section or along its length (or both). This
difference, if any, is to be determined from
micrometer readings.
If any of journals is badly damaged or if the
amount of uneven wear in the sense explained
above exceeds its limit, regrind or replace the
crankshaft.
