Inspection of Crankshaft

1. Use the color check method or MAGNAFLUX to
inspect the crankshaft for cracks. Replace the
crankshaft if evidence of fractures are found.
2. Measure the outside diameter of each crankpin
and main bearing journal. Take measurements
at several places around each bearing surface.
If not within specification, grind the journals and
install undersize bearings, or replace the
crankshaft.
