Introduction
The specifications given in this book are on the basis of information available at the time it was
written. The specifications torques, pressures of operation, measurements, adjustments and other
items can change at any time. These changes can effect the service given to the product. Get the
complete and most current information before you start any job. Caterpillar Dealers have the most
current information which is available. For a list of the most current modules and form numbers
available for each Service Manual, see the SERVICE MANUAL CONTENTS MICROFICHE
REG1139F.

When the words "use again" are in the description, the specification given can be used to determine
if a part can be used again. If the part is equal to or within the specification given, use the part again.

When the word "permissible" is in the description, the specification given is the "maximum or
minimum" tolerance permitted before adjustment, repair and/or new parts are needed.

A comparison can be made between the measurements of a worn part, and the specifications of a
new part to find the amount of wear. A part that is worn can be safe to use if an estimate of the
remainder of its service life is good. If a short service life is expected, replace the part.

N O TE: For Systems Operation and Testing and Adjusting, make reference to 3408 & 3412

NOTE: Write the dial indicator measurements with their positive (+) and negative (-) notation (signs).
This notation is necessary for making the calculations in the chart correctly.

1. Fasten the dial indicator to the flywheel so the anvil of the indicator will touch the flywheel housing
bore. With the dial indicator in position at (C), adjust the dial indicator to "0" (zero). Push the crankshaft
up against the top bearing. Write the measurement for bearing clearance on line 1 in column (C).

2. Divide the measurement from Step 1 by 2. Write this number on line 1 in columns (B) & (D).

3. Turn the crankshaft to put the dial indicator at (A). Adjust the dial indicator to "0" (zero).

4. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to put the dial indicator at (B). Write the measurement in the
chart.

5. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to put the dial indicator at (C). Write the measurement in the
chart.

6. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to put the dial indicator at (D). Write the measurement in the
chart.

7. Add lines I and II by columns.

8. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number in line III in columns (B) & (D). The result is the
horizontal "eccentricity" (out of round). Line III, column (C) is the vertical eccentricity.

horizontal eccentricity.

10. If the point of intersection is in the range marked "Acceptable" the bore is in alignment. If the point of
intersection is in the range marked "Not Acceptable" the flywheel housing must be changed.
