Detail Of Throw Of Crankshaft (Pin Number 5)

(11) Dimension A

(12) Zone A

When the engine is positioned and the engine is anchored, the following measurements must be taken between the cheeks of Pin Number 5:

  • Dimension A (11)

  • Zone A (12)

Use the following procedure in order to measure the change in dimension A (11) within zone B (12) .

  1. Rotate the counterweight as close as possible to the top center position. Ensure that the dial indicator does not interfere with the connecting rod.

  1. Seat the pivot points of the dial indicator by spinning the dial indicator.

  1. Set the dial indicator to zero.

  1. Rotate the crankshaft from the starting position until the dial indicator approaches interference with the connecting rod on the opposite side. Observe the readings of the dial indicator while the crankshaft is rotated.

  1. Rotate the crankshaft to the starting position. The dial indicator must return to zero. If the dial indicator does not return to zero repeat Steps 1 through 5.

When the engine is at the ambient temperature, the change in dimension A must not exceed the following TIR. ... 0.08 mm (0.003 inch)

Maximum crankshaft deflection ... 0.08 mm (.003 inch)
