6. To adjust tooth contact, use the following chart to
correctly shim the driven shaft.
7. After correct tooth contact is established, proceed to
Checking Backlash in this sub-section.
Checking Backlash
1. If removed, install the secondary drive/bevel gear shaft
into the crankcase; then tighten the nut to 74 ft-lb.
2. Install the secondary drive bearing support; then
install the secondary driven output shaft into the
crankcase.
3. Mount the dial indicator so the tip is contacting a
tooth on the secondary drive bevel gear.
4. While rocking the drive bevel gear back and forth,
note the maximum backlash reading on the gauge.
MT005A
5. Acceptable backlash range is 0.127-0.381 mm
(0.005-0.015 in.).
Correcting Backlash
NOTE: If backlash measurement is within the
acceptable range, no correction is necessary.
1. If backlash measurement is less than specified,
remove an existing shim, measure it, and install a
new thinner shim.
2. If backlash measurement is more than specified, remove
an existing shim, measure it, and install a thicker shim.
NOTE: Continue to remove, measure, and install
until backlash measurement is within tolerance. Note
the following chart.
After backlash and tooth contact are within specifications,
apply red Loctite #271 to the driveshaft threads and driven
output shaft threads; then using new nuts, tighten the output
shaft nut to 59 ft-lb and the output yoke nut to 200 ft-lb.
CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The crankshaft and connecting rod is a
non-serviceable assembly. If any component is out of
specification, the assembly must be replaced.
Measuring Connecting Rod
(Small End Inside Diameter)
1. Insert a snap gauge into the upper connecting rod
small end bore; then remove the gauge and measure
it with micrometer.
CC290D
2. Maximum diameter must not exceed specifications.
Measuring Connecting Rod
(Small End Deflection)
1. Place the crankshaft on a set of V blocks and mount a
dial indicator and base on the surface plate. Position
the indicator contact point against the center of the
connecting rod small end journal.
2. Zero the indicator and push the small end of the con-
necting rod away from the dial indicator.
3. Maximum deflection must not exceed specifications.
Measuring Connecting Rod
(Big End Side-to-Side)
1. Push the lower end of the connecting rod to one side
of the crankshaft journal.
2. Using a feeler gauge, measure the gap between the
connecting rod and crankshaft journal.
