Check crankshaft for out-of-round
condition. Crankshafts should be reground if main
bearing or crankpin journals are worn out-of-round more
than 0.002 inch. Refer to figure 3-223.
h. Clean Drillings in Crankshaft.
(1) Remove all pipe plugs.
(2)
Clean all drilled oil passages in
crankshaft with a rod and rag as if cleaning a rifle barrel.
Refer to figure 3-224.
(3) Install and tighten plugs to 5 ft. lbs.
(4) Stake pipe plugs by making a 1/64 inch
indentation at outside diameter of threads with center
punch.

(2) Oversize thrust rings are available as
indicated in table 2-2.
(3) At any time oversize thrust rings are
used, be sure to use the same size (thickness) half-ring
on both the upper and lower positions. Stamp crankshaft
rear web indicating size used. See paragraph f, below.
f. Disassembly of Cranksh4ft.
(1) If crankshaft gear is chipped, cracked,
broken or worn remove capscrew and washer.
(2)
Attach a circular-type puller, as
illustrated in figure 3-221, behind the crankshaft gear.
(3) Apply 75 to 100 ft. lbs. on puller screw.
