Face Runout (Axial Eccentricity) of the Flywheel
- Refer to Illustration 1 and install the dial indicator. Always put a force on the crankshaft in the same direction before the dial indicator is read. This will remove any crankshaft end clearance.

Checking face runout of the flywheel |
- Set the dial indicator to read 0.0 mm (0.00 inch).
- Turn the flywheel at intervals of 90 degrees and read the dial indicator. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".
- Take the measurements at all four points. The difference between the lower measurements and the higher measurements that are performed at all four points must not be more than 0.15 mm (0.006 inch), which is the maximum permissible face runout (axial eccentricity) of the flywheel.

Checking bore runout of the flywheel (1) 7H-1945 Holding Rod (2) 7H-1645 Holding Rod (3) 7H-1942 Dial Indicator (4) 7H-1940 Universal Attachment |
- Install 7H-1942 Dial Indicator (3). Make an adjustment of 7H-1940 Universal Attachment (4) so the dial indicator makes contact on the flywheel.
- Set the dial indicator to read 0.0 mm (0.00 inch).
- Turn the flywheel at intervals of 90 degrees and read the dial indicator.
- Take the measurements at all four points. The difference between the lower measurements and the higher measurements that are performed at all four points must not be more than 0.15 mm (0.006 inch), which is the maximum permissible face runout (radial eccentricity) of the flywheel.
- To find the runout (eccentricity) of the pilot bearing bore, use the preceding procedure.
