5-21. CRANKCASE (ENGINE HOUSING) MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS - Continued
1.
Visually inspect the engine housing (3) for cracks
or damaged threaded holes.
2.
Check distance from cylinder seat to center of
crankshaft axis as follows:
a.
Using vernier caliper, measure diameter of
opening for seal housing (flywheel side). Re-
cord this measurement as X.
b.
Measure distance from face of cylinder seat
to top dead center (TDC) of the opening for
seal housing. Record this measurement as Y.
c.
If the sum of X + Y IS less than 2.9488 in.
(74.900 mm), Replace the engine housing.
3.
Measure bore diameter for camshaft, Replace en-
gine housing if bore exceeds 0.8689 in. (22.070
mm).
4.
If calculated radial end play of the crankshaft jour-
nal to the main front bearing (Para. 5-20), was de-
termined to exceed 0.0039 in. (0.10 mm), replace
the main front bearing (7).
NOTE
If determination to send crankshaft to gen-
eral support maintenance for regrinding of
the bearing journals, consult Table 5-1, in
