maximum measures, the eccentricity is obtained.
Alignment and Excentricity
To verify the misalignment and eccentricity of the supports, the crankshaft is placed on shims located on
a marble, in such a way that it rests on the supports at the ends, then placing a dial gauge
on the supports on which it rests, in order to obtain the value of their eccentricity.
This operation will be repeated with all the supports, placing a wedge under the one whose eccentricity is needed.
check, placing the other wedge on the support farthest away. The eccentricity can also be verified in the
friction surface of the seals, in order to prevent possible leaks.
Once the eccentricity is obtained by comparison, the possible misalignment or curvature is determined by placing
the shims on the supports at the ends, and the dial gauge, in turn, on the central support. The value
obtained must be compared with that corresponding to the eccentricity of the central support, since of what
On the contrary, they could confuse each other, leaving no room for misinterpretations.
Assembly Tolerance
To determine the assembly tolerance, the method previously proposed in the case of the connecting rod heads of the thread is used.

Axial Play
Another check to be performed, now with the crankshaft installed, is the axial clearance, both of the crankshaft itself and of the
connecting rods. In both cases, a dial gauge will be used, supported by the corresponding magnetic base. In

as close as possible to the crankshaft, to avoid the pitching caused by the radial tolerance of the mounting.
This winemaking can also be carried out with the help of calibrated thickness gauges, inserting them between the connecting rod and
the lateral cap of the crankshaft.
Regarding the lubrication circuit, the condition of its inspection plugs must be verified by introducing oil and
