Crankcase and crankshaft
7. If the crankshaft bearing remains on the
crankshaft, remove it with the Puller tool. See
figure 6.
18.2 Cleaning and inspection
CAUTION! If the bearings are mounted
in the crankcase, exercise care to avoid
dirt and foreign particles getting in.
Clean all components and scrape of the remains
of gasket material from the mating surfaces of the
crankcase halves.
1. Check that the big-end bearing does not have any
radial play. Axial play is acceptable. Also make sure
that the big-end bearing does not have any score
marks or is discoloured on the sides. See figure 7.
2. Check that the bearing surfaces for the small-end do
not have any score marks or are discoloured. See
figure 8.
3. Check that the crankshaft main bearings do not have
any play or dissonance.
4.
Check that the crankcase has no cracks.
