(3) Remove piston and connecting rod assem-blies.(para 14-81.)(4) Remove crankshaft and cylinder sleeves(refer to paragraphs (a) and (b) above).(5) Drive camshaft bearings from block. (fig.14-41.)14-86. Crankshaft, Cylinder Sleeves, CamshaftBearings and Cylinder Block Cleaning, Inspectionand Repair.a. Crankshaft.(1) Clean crankshaft thoroughly and inspect thejournals for scoring, chipping, cracking, or signsof overheating.If crankshaft has been overheated(usually indicated by discolored or blue bearing jour-nal surfaces), or is scored or excessively worn, re-conditioning or replacement will be required. Exa-mine bearing journals for cracks if overheating hasoccurred.(fig. 14-41.)(2) Measure the crankshaft main bearing andconnecting rod journals at several places on theirdiameter to check for roundness. The diameter ofmain bearing journals is 3.2465 to 3.248 inches; con-necting rod journals is 2.747 to 2.7485 inches. Theonly recommended method of reconditioning the crank-shaft is regrinding, as required, to accommodateundersize bearing.Chrome plating or metallizing thebearing journals is not acceptable.(3) All main and connecting rod bearing journalsurfaces of the crankshaft are hardened to a minimumdepth of approximately 0.060 inch. If regrinding ofcrankshaft journals becomes necessary, the workshould be done by a reputable machine shop that hassuitable equipment to handle precision work of thistype. Main bearing shells 0.002, 0.010, 0.020 and0.040 inch undersize are available. If crankshaft isground, the diameter of main bearing journals shouldbe reduced in steps of 0.002, 0.010, 0.020, or 0.040inch below 3.2465 to 3.248 inches to fit the undersizemain bearing shells.(4) If out-of-round or taper of journals exceeds0.002 inch, crankshaft must be reground to a standardundersize or replaced.(5) Blow out all oil passages in crankshaft withdry compressed air.(6) Any bearing shells that are scored, chipped,pitted, or worn beyond the specified limits given belowmust be replaced.Inspect backs of the shells forbright spots.Bright spots on backs of the shells indi-cate shells have shifted in their supports and are unfitfor further use.(7) The clearance between main bearing shellsand the crankshaft journals is 0. 0019 to 0. 0046 inch.New bearing shells must be installed when this clear-ante exceeds 0. 008 inch.(8) With crankshaft removed, measure insidediameter of the bearing at a point 90° from the partingline, with bearing cap installed and tightened to 170-190 foot-pounds.Bearing shells when in place are0. 002 to 0. 004 inch larger in diameter at the partingline than they are 90° from the parting line, and donot form a true circle. The two halves of the shellshave a crush fit in their bore in the block and must betight when the cap is secured in place. Do not measureinside diameter at the parting line.(9) The bore of new main bearings installed is3.2499 to 3.2511 inches and any reading above 3.2511inches indicates the amount of bearing wear.Measurediameter of the crankshaft journal at the correspondingbearing location and subtract this dimension from in-side diameter measurement of the bearing (as deter-mined above); the difference between these two meas-urements is the crankshaft-to-bearing clearance.(10) Another method for determining amount ofwear on bearing shells is by measuring each shell witha micrometer at a point of 90° from the parting line.New (standard size) shells, should measure 0. 1549- to0. 1554-inch thick. Bearing shells less than 0. 153-inch thick are worn beyond the allowable limits andmust be replaced.(11) The most accurate method of determiningmain bearing clearance is by using micrometer, asdescribed i n the preceding paragraphs. However, ifthe proper size micrometers are not available or thecrankshaft is installed in the engine, bearing clearancemust be measured by using a plastic strip manufac-tured for this purpose.The plastic strip must be usedin accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.b. CylinderBlockandCylinderSleeves.(1) Thoroughly clean the bores in cylinder blockfor the sleeve. Make certain bottom surface of flangeon cylinder sleeve and the counterbore in cylinderblock are clean and free from nicks or burrs.(2) Before installing the new sleeves, use warmwater and common laundry detergent and scrub the borewith a stiff bristled brush to insure cleanliness and re-moval of any possible hone dust from the pores. Dryand protect with a thin coating of engine lubricatingoil .(3) Before installing packing rings on sleeve, in-sert sleeve into bore of cylinder block to make suresleeve can be pushed down into place and turned in thebore by hand pressure.If the sleeve cannot be insertedand turned in the above manner, more cleaning is nec-essary.(4) Rotate the sleeve with the contact point of thedial indicator, contacting the bottom of the counterbore.Total indicator reading should not exceed 0. 002 inch.If the total dial indicator reading exceeds the specifiedlimit, reworking of the counterbore is necessary.(5) The protrusion (standout) of the cylindersleeve flange above the top flat surface of the cylinder14-93
