Crankshaft Inspection

Out-of-Round and Taper

1. Remove the crankshaft from the engine block.

2. Clean the crankshaft oil passages with pipe cleaners or a suitable brush.

3. Clean the keyway and threads.

4. Measure the out-of-round at the middle of each rod and main journal in two places. The difference between measurements on each journal must not be more than the service limit.
