Crankshaft alignment check

With the proper equipment (1), check that the ec-
centricity of the surface of Ø "E" and "F" are con-
tained within 0.03 mm. (the maximum reading limit
on the dial gauge clock); also check the eccentric-
ity of the diameter "D", for which there shall be a
maximum reading of 0.02 mm.
In the case of eccentricities not much greater than
that prescribed, perform the straightening of the
shaft by means of counterweights with a wedge,
or tightening it in a vice (equipped with aluminium
bushings) as needed.
