NOTE: Write the dial indicator measurements with their
positive (+) and negative (-) notation (signs). This
notation is necessary for making the calculations in the
chart correctly.
1.
With the dial indicator in position at (C), adjust the dial
indicator to "0" (zero). Push the crankshaft up against the
top bearing. Write the measurement for bearing
clearance on line 1 in column (C).
2.
Divide the measurement from Step 1 by 2. Write this
number on line 1 in columns (B) & (D).
3.
Turn the crankshaft to put the dial indicator at (A). Adjust
the dial indicator to "0" (zero).
4.
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to put the dial
indicator at (B). Write the measurement in the chart.
5.
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to put the dial
indicator at (C). Write the measurement in the chart.
6.
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to put the dial
indicator at (D). Write the measurement in the chart.
7.
Add lines I & II by columns.
8.
Subtract the smaller number from the larger number in
line Ill in columns (B) & (D). The result is the horizontal
"eccentricity" (out of round). Line III, column (C) is the
vertical eccentricity.

Total Vertical eccentricity (out of round).
Subtract the smaller No. from the larger No. The difference is
the total horizontal eccentricity.

9.
On the graph for total eccentricity find the point of
intersection of the lines for vertical eccentricity and
horizontal eccentricity.
10. If the point of intersection is in the range marked
"Acceptable" the bore is in alignment. If the point of
intersection is in the range marked "Not Acceptable" the
flywheel housing must be changed.
