INSPECTION AND SERVICING
CONROD SMALL END INSIDE DIAM-
ETER INSPECTION
Using a dial calipers, measure the conrod small end
inside diameter both in vertical and horizontal directions.
If any of the measurements exceeds the service limit,
replace the conrod.
CONROD DEFLECTION INSPECTION
Move the small end sideways while holding the big end
immovable in thrust direction.
Measure the amount of deflection.
Turn the conrod and see if it moves smoothly without
play and noise.
This method can check the extent of wear on the parts
of the conrod s big end.
CONROD BIG END SIDE CLEAR-
ANCE INSPECTION
Using a thickness gauge, measure the side clearance at
the conrod big end. If the measurement is out of stan-
dard value, measure the conrod big end and the crank
pin widths individually to determine which one is to be
replaced.
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT INSPEC-
TION
With the right and left crank journals supported with V-
block, turn the crankshaft slowly. At this time, measure
the crankshaft end runout using a dial gauge. If the
runout exceeds the service limit, replace the crankshaft.
