Camshaft Inspection And Service; Crankshaft Inspection And Service - Kohler CV11-16 Service Manual

Section 10
Inspection and Reconditioning
4. The choke control setting is less critical with ACR.
In the event of flooding, excess fuel is blown out
the opened exhaust valve and does not hamper
starting.
5. Engines with ACR start much faster in cold
weather than engines without ACR.
6. Engines with ACR can be started with spark plugs
that are worn or fouled. Engines without ACR
probably could not be started with those same
spark plugs.
Camshaft
Inspection and Service
Inspect the gear teeth of the camshaft. If the teeth are
badly worn, chipped, or some are missing,
replacement of the camshaft will be necessary.
Crankshaft
Inspection and Service
Inspect the gear teeth of the crankshaft. If the teeth
are badly worn, chipped, or some are missing,
replacement of the crankshaft will be necessary.
Some engines have replaceable crankshaft bearings,
most do not. Inspect the crankshaft bearing and/or
journal surface for scoring, grooving, etc. Do not
replace bearings unless they show signs of damage or
are out of running clearance specifications. If the
crankshaft turns easily and noiselessly, and there is no
evidence of scoring, grooving, etc., on the races or
bearing surfaces, the bearings can be reused.
Inspect the crankshaft keyways. If worn or chipped,
replacement of the crankshaft will be necessary.
Inspect the crankpin for score marks or metallic
pickup. Slight score marks can be cleaned with crocus
cloth soaked in oil. If wear limits, as stated in
"Specifications and Tolerances" are exceeded, it will be
necessary to either replace the crankshaft or regrind
the crankpin to 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) undersize. If
reground, a 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) undersize connecting
rod (big end) must then be used to achieve proper
running clearance. Measure the crankpin for size,
taper, and out-of-round.
NOTE: If the crankpin is reground, visually check to
insure that the fillet blends smoothly with the
crankpin surface. See Figure 10-1.

On engines with a replaceable bearing insert on the
flywheel end, the crankshaft flywheel end main bearing
journal can be ground two sizes under. The connecting
rod journal can be ground one size under.
When grinding a crankshaft on a CV11-16, CV460-
465, CV490-495 engine, grinding stone deposits can
get caught in the oil passages, which could cause
severe engine damage. Removing the plug each time
the crankshaft is ground provides easy access for
cleaning any grinding deposits that may collect in the
oil passages.
Use the following procedure to remove and replace the
plug.
Procedures to Remove Plug:
1. Drill a 3/16" hole through the plug in the
crankshaft.
2. Thread a 3/4" or 1" long self-tapping screw with a
flat washer into the drilled hole. The flat washer
must be large enough to seat against the
shoulder of the plug bore. See Figure 10-2.
3. Tighten the self-tapping screw until it draws the
plug out of the crankshaft.
Procedure to Install New Plug:
1. Use a single cylinder camshaft pin Part No.
47 380 09-S as a driver and tap the plug into the
plug bore until it seats at the bottom of the bore.
Make sure the plug is tapped in evenly to prevent
leakage.
