4.11 Measuring crankshaft runout

Support the crankshaft at the front and rear journals with V-
blocks, and measure the crankshaft runout at the center
journal using a dial gauge. If the runout deviates from the
standard only slightly, grind the crankshaft to repair. If the
runout exceeds the standard considerably, straighten the
crankshaft using a press.
If the limit is exceeded, replace the crankshaft.
If the crankshaft has been repaired by grinding or pressing,
inspect the crankshaft for cracks and other harmful damage
using a magnetic particle method.
