2. Accurate Measurement of Crankshaft Runout and End-play

The precise measurement & corrections of crankshaft runout and end-play is crucial during assembly to avoid misassembly that could lead to bearing failure and other damages.

Lack of end play (especially to be verified after any maintenance on coupled alternator or coupling) may even lead to crankshaft severe damage leading to catastrophic failures in a short period of operations.

Incorrect assembly of parts usually involves the bearing caps. The bearing caps are bored while bolted onto their mating surface (either a block saddle or connecting rod).

If the caps were interchanged or reversed at a previous assembly, the bearings may show abnormal wear. This is usually indicated by heavy wear on one side of the bearing.

3. Proper Orientation of Connecting Rod Bearing Caps / Main Bearing Caps

Preventive bearing misassembly and Extending bearing life is crucial for minimizing engine downtime, reducing maintenance costs.
