Crankshaft

CLEANING
Clean the crankshaft oil gallery holes with a nylon brush.
Rinse in clean solvent and dry with compressed air.

INSPECTION
Inspect the rod and main journal for deep scores, signs of overheating and other abnormal marks. Inspect the front and rear seal contact areas of the crankshaft for scratches or grooving.
The service seal kit will position the seal slightly deeper into the seal bore so it will contact the crankshaft at a different location. If this has already been done and the crankshaft has two worn areas, install a wear sleeve to provide a new contact surface for the seal.
1. Visually inspect the tone wheel for missing teeth, cracks, and out-of-round.

NOTE: For additional crankshaft procedures, refer to Service and Repair.
