CRANKSHAFT
The crankshaft journals should be checked for
excessive wear, taper and scoring (Fig. 99). Limits of
taper or out of round on any crankshaft journals
should be held to .025 mm (.001 inch). Journal grind-
ing should not exceed .305 mm (.012 inch) under the
standard journal diameter. DO NOT grind thrust
faces of Number 3 main bearing. DO NOT nick crank
pin or bearing fillets. After grinding, remove rough
edges from crankshaft oil holes and clean out all pas-
sages.
CAUTION: With the nodular cast iron crankshafts
used it is important that the final paper or cloth pol-
ish after any journal regrind be in the same direc-
tion as normal rotation in the engine.
