TM 10-4320-307-244-17CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY REPLACE/REPAIR (CONT)9.Inspect crankshaft thrust surfaces. If slightly worn or grooved, smooth out and polish surfaces with wet crocus cloth.Make sure to leave a 0.1693 to 0.1772 inch (4.30 to 4.50 mm) radius between thrust surface and journal.10. Inspect thrust rings for nicks. scratches, cracks, or other damage. Replace If damaged. Measure thickness of thrustrings. Replace rings if they are not the same thickness.11. Measure connecting rod journals as follows:a.Measure diameter of each connecting rodjournal (4) at points A and B along axes Xand Y with micrometer.b.The minimum acceptable diameter for con-necting rod journal (4) is 3.122 inches (79.298mm). If any measurement is outside specifiedlimits, crankshaft must be replaced. However, ifconnecting rod journals are evenly worn, notout-of-round, and crankshaft journal diametersare within specified limits, the condition may berectified by replacing connecting rod bearingshells in accordance with paragraph 4-16.Crankshaft Journal Diameters - Inch (mm)JournalMinimumMaximumWorn LimitConnecting3.12353.1253.122Rod(79.337)(79.375)(79.298)c.If measurements at point A and B indicate more than 0.0005 inch (0.013 mm) taper per length of journal (4)and/or one set is outside specified limits, the journal is worn into a conical shape and crankshaft must bereplaced.d.If measurements along X and Y axes differ. and/or one set is outside specified limits. journal is worn into an ovalshape.e.Measure width of connecting rod journals.f.Measure fillet radius at each connecting rod journal using fillet ball gauge set. Fillet radius should measure from0.1693 to 0.1722 inch (4.30 to 4.50 mm). If any fillet measurement is out of limits, replace crankshaft. Fillet mustblend smoothly into journal cheek and must be free of scratches. Polish and smooth any slight imperfections withcrocus cloth wet with lubricating oil.12. Check connecting rod journal bearing clearance in accordance with paragraph 4-16.4-129
