CLEANING AND INSPECTION
WARNING
Dry cleaning solvent, P-D-680, is toxic and flammable. Always wear protective goggles and gloves,
and use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes, and DO NOT
breathe vapors. DO NOT use near open flame or excessive heat. The solvent's flash point is 100°F-
138°F (380°C-590C). If you become dizzy while using cleaning solvent, immediately get fresh air
and medical help. If solvent contacts eyes, immediately wash your eyes and get medical aid.
1.
Clean crankshaft and bearing caps with dry cleaning solvent and clean rags.
WARNING
Compressed air used for cleaning or drying purposes, or for clearing restrictions, should never
exceed 30 psi (207 kPa). Wear protective clothing (goggles/shield, gloves, etc.) and use caution to
avoid injury to personnel.
2.
Flush oil passages of crankshaft with dry cleaning solvent and dry with compressed air.
3.
Inspect crankshaft for scoring and overheating. Replace crankshaft if damaged.
4.
Inspect crankshaft and journals for deep scratches and cracks. Replace crankshaft if damaged.
5.
Inspect crankshaft keyway for damage and cracks. Replace crankshaft if keyway is damaged or cracked.
6.
Inspect rear oil seal contact surface for deep scratches. Replace crankshaft if scratches cannot be smoothed with
crocus cloth.
7.
Using outside caliper micrometer, measure and note diameter of each crankshaft main bearing journal at several
locations. Diameter must be 3.1230-3.1240 in. (7.9324-7.9350 cm). If measurement is not within specification,
replace crankshaft.
8.
Subtract the smallest measurement from the largest measurement taken in step 7. Difference between the two
measurements is out-of-round. Out-of-round must be no larger than 0.0030 in. (0.0762 mm). If out-of-round is not
within specification, replace crankshaft.
9.
Using outside caliper micrometer, measure and note diameter at 1 in. (25.4 mm) intervals along length of journal
beginning at one end of each crankshaft main bearing journal. Difference between each measurement is taper.
Taper must be no larger than 0.0001 in. (0.0003 mm) per 1 in. (25.4 mm) of crankshaft main bearing journal.
