12. Measure the crankshaft end play.
1. Thrust the crankshaft forward or rearward.
2. Insert a feeler gage between the center crankshaft bearing and the bearing surface of the crankshaft
and measure the bearing clearance.
The proper crankshaft end play clearance is 0.04-0.2 mm (0.0015-0.0078 in).
3. If the bearing clearance is not within specifications, inspect the thrust surfaces for nicks, gouges or
raised metal. Minor imperfections may be removed with a fine stone.
