a) Inspect the bore (1) of the eccentric (2). It must be smooth and not oval or conical. Any ovality or conicity must be corrected by scraping or grinding the bore of the eccentric with a belt grinder. b) Measure and calculate the play between the eccentric bushing bearing surface (5) and the eccentric (1). The maximum permitted play is 0.22 mm (0.009 in). c) Inspect the bearing surface (6) of the main shaft for wear and damage.
