Checking
Prior to any machining, check the crankshaft for
cracks. Seizure can cause overheat cracks, which
can only be detected by using special equipment.
The recommended test involves using a magnetic
powder, type MAGNAGLO, which is fluorescent
and is scrutinized under ultraviolet light. For pow-
der type, concentration, current and magnetizing,
follow the instructions of the manufacturer. See
also below the types of cracks that can occur.
…or there are longitudinal cracks within the areas
marked here.
…or when a crack is less than 10 mm outside the area
marked here.
Individual cracks within 10 mm are acceptable.
…or the crack is further than 5 mm from the lube drill-
ing. Cracks nearer the lube drilling can be removed by
machining.
