4.2 Crankshaft − Lift
1) Measure and record the lateral bearing
clearances (y1 and y2
,
Fig. 10
)
between the crankshaft (2) and the
bottom bearing shell (3, 4)
approximately 50 mm below the
bearing.
2) Put the dial gauge (1) above the
crankshaft (2) as shown.
3) Set the dial gauge to zero.
4) Look at the dial gauge and operate the
HP oil pump (94931) to lift the
crankshaft (2) to 0.2 mm.
5) Make sure that the value on the dial
gauge is 0.2 mm.
6) Make sure that there is no clearance
between the adjacent bearing cover
and the crankshaft (2).
7) Keep the pressure constant.
8) Measure the lateral bearing clearances (y
1
and y
2).
Compare these values with
the values recorded in step 1 ).
9) If the value of the lateral bearing clearance is more than 0.1 mm, lower the
crankshaft and do step a ) to step c ).
a) Install the hydraulic jacks in a position where the lateral bearing clearance is
smaller.
b) Operate the HP oil pump to lift the crankshaft.
c) Lift the crankshaft to 0.2 mm.
