TM 9-6115-604-34NAVFAC P-8-633-34NOTEThese limits may be exceeded if the remaining misalignment is to be ground out of the mainbearing journals.(4)Crankshaft straightening may cause increased runout of the nose section and flywheel pilot. Excessiverunout at these points may be corrected by applying the straightening load to No. 2 main journal tostraighten the nose section runout, or No. 6 main journal to straighten the crankshaft pilot runout (Figure 9-45).(5)After straightening, the TIR of either the nose section or crankshaft pilot shall not exceed 0.001 inch (0.03mm).NOTEIn performing any of the straightening operations above, the alignment of other sections of thecrankshaft may be adversely affected. Repeat the straightening procedures as necessary untilthe crankshaft is within acceptable limits.(6)Inspect the crankshaft in accordance with step dNO TAG, above, to detect cracks which may have beencaused by the straightening operation. Replace the crankshaft if unacceptable cracks are detected.Figure 9-45. Straightening Nose Section and Flywheel Pilot Run-outf.Grind Journals.WARNINGThe weight of the crankshaft Is approximately 850 pounds (383 kg). Use of a lifting device notrated for this weight may result in damage to components or injury to personnel.(1)General. A number of precautions should be exercised to hold the risk of grinder bums damage to aminimum. These precautions are necessary in both the choice of equipment, and in the grinding procedure.9-83
