Checking Counterbore Depth
Use one of the following methods to check the depth
of the crankcase counterbore:
Surface Gauge Method
NOTE: Clean counterbore surface and remove
existing shims if any before measuring counterbore
depth.
Figure 325 Checking counterbore depth with
surface gauge
1. Place the indicator tip of the surface gauge on the
crankcase. Zero the dial indicator.
2. Move the indicator tip onto the counterbore ledge.
Record the counterbore depth reading on the dial
indicator.
3. Take counterbore depth measurements at four
evenly spaced locations around the counterbore
ledge.
4. Compare
the
counterbore
between the four measurements with those
listed in specifications (Table 32).
If the maximum variation between the four
measurements
exceeds
resurface the counterbore.
Read all safety instructions in the "Safety Information" section of this manual before doing any procedures.

Depth Micrometer Method
NOTE: Clean counterbore surface and remove
existing shims if any before measuring counterbore
depth.
