(4) Checking the side gap of a crankshaft
After assembling the crankshaft, tighten the
main bearing cap to the specified toque, and
move the crankshaft to one side, placing a dial
gauge on one end of the shaft to measure
thrust clearance.
Replace the thrust bearing if it is worn beyond
the limit.

into the clearance between the thrust metal
and crankshaft thrust face.
