The shaft must be scrapped if there are longitudinal cracks
on the journals and in the fillets.
2
The shaft must be scrapped if there are crosswise cracks
within the marked zone. This applies to both crank pins and
main bearing journals.
The shaft must be scrapped when cracks longer than 5 mm
(0.2") are adjacent to the area around the oil holes. Cracks
shorter than 5 mm (0.2") can be removed by grinding.

The shaft must be scrapped when cracks are longer than 10
mm (0.4") outside the marked area. Isolated cracks less
than 10 mm (0.4") are acceptable.
