Crankshaft
Main
Bearings

The
crankshaft rotates on three main bearings

with
a running clearance of .0003" to .0029"
[0,0076
a
0,0736
mm.].

These
bearings are positioned and prevented from
rotating in their supports in the cylinder block by
dowel pins. Dowel pins are used in both the center

and
the
rear
bearing caps. No dowel pins are used

in
the front bearing cap because the bearing has
a
flange. The front main bearing takes the end

thrust
of the crankshaft. The main bearings are of premium type which provides long bearing life.
They
are replaceable and when correctly installed, provide proper clearance without filing, boring,

scraping,
or shimming. Crankshaft bearings can
be removed from this
engine
only with the
engine

out of the vehicle. Crankshaft bearings must be replaced as a complete set of three bearings, each
bearing consisting of two halves.
Main
bearings
are
available in the standard size and the following
undersizes:
.001" [0,025mm.] .012" [0,305 mm.] .002" [0,051mm.] .020" [0,508 mm.] .010" [0,254mm.] .030" [0,762 mm.]

The
.001" and .002" undersize main bearings are
for use with standard size crankshafts having
slightly worn
journals.
The .010", .020", and .030" undersize bearings are for use with undersize

crankshafts
in
those
sizes. The .012" undersize
bearings are for use with .010" undersize
crank­
shafts having slightly worn journals. Bearing sizes

are
rubber stamped on the reverse side of each
bearing half.
D-44. Crankshaft
Main
Bearing Inspection

The
crankshaft
journals
must be carefully inspected
as detailed previously in Par. D-41. Worn journals

will
require undersize bearings. Scored, flaked, or

worn
bearings must be replaced. Measure the main
bearing bores in the cylinder block using a
telescope

gauge
and micrometer. Measure the bores at right
angles to the split line and at 45° to the split line.

The
bores should not be over .001"
[0,0254
mm.]
out-of-round or .001" in taper from end to end.

Also,
the bores should not be more then .001"
oversize, considering the average diameter of the
bore.

D-45.
Fitting Crankshaft
Main
Bearings
Using
Plastigage

After
wiping and carefully inspecting the bearing bore, install the proper bearing. See that the oil

hole
in the bearing upper half registers properly

with
the oil
hole
in the block, and that the bearing
lock fits properly in the notch in the block.
Install

the crankshaft if replacing bearings with the
engine

out of the vehicle. The desired running fit (dif­
ference
between
the diameter of the crankshaft

journal
and the inside diameter of the fitted bear­ ing) for a main bearing is .0003" to .0029"
[0,0076

a
0,0736
mm.]. With a dimension in
excess
of this
standard
running fit, a satisfactory bearing replace­ment cannot be made and it
will
be necessary to

regrind
the crankshaft.
Install
the bearing lower

half
and the bearing cap and draw the nuts down
equally and only slightly tight. Rotate the
crank­

shaft by hand to be sure it turns freely without

drag.
Pull
the nuts tighter, first one then the other,
a
little at a time, intermittently rotating the
crank­

shaft by hand until the recommended torque of
35 to 45 lb-ft. [4,8 a 6,2 kg-m.] is reached. If the
bearings are of the correct size, and lubricated with
light oil before installation, the crankshaft should
turn
freely in the bearings. If the crankshaft cannot
be turned, a larger bearing is
required.
If there is no binding or tightness, it is still necessary to check
clearance to guard against too
loose
a fit. Never file
either the bearing cap or the bearing to compensate
for too much clearance. Do not use shims under a
bearing cap or behind a bearing shell. Do not run a
new bearing half with a worn bearing half. The use
of "Plastigage" of the proper size to measure .001" [0,025 mm.] clearance is recommended for check­
ing crankshaft main bearing clearance. The method
of checking clearance is as follows:

a.
Remove the bearing cap and carefully wipe

all
oil from the bearing and the
journal.
b.
Lay a piece of "Plastigage" y%" [3 mm.]
shorter than the width of the bearing across the

journal
(lengthwise of the crankshaft).

c.
Install
the bearing and cap and tighten first
one nut, then the other, a little at a time to the specified torque. As the bearing
tightens
down

around
the
journal,
the "Plastigage" flattens to a
width that indicates the bearing clearance.

d.
Remove the cap and measure the width of
the flattened "Plastigage," using the scale printed
on the
edge
of the envelope. The proper size "Plasti­
gage"
will
accurately measure clearance down to .001".
e. If the flattened "Plastigage" tapers toward the middle, or toward the end, or both ends, there
is a difference in clearance, indicating a taper, a
low
spot,
or other irregularity of the bearing or

journal.

Main
Bearings
Using
Shim Stock

Thin
feeler or shim stock may be used instead of "Plastigage" to check bearing clearances. The
method is simple, but care must be taken to protect
the bearing metal surface from
injury
by too much pressure against the feeler stock,

a.
Cut a piece of .001" [0,025 mm.] thick, by Yl [12,7 mm.] wide, feeler stock }4" [3 mm.]
shorter than the width of the bearing. Coat this 51

a

indicator as shown in
Fig.
D-21 after refacing.

The
valve seat should not be out of round more

than
.002"
[0,051
mm.]. A simple check can be
made in the absence of a
dial
indicator by spreading
a
thin coat of pencil lead or bearing-fitting blue on
the valve face and then inserting the valve into the valve seat.
With
hand pressure, rotate the valve

a
quarter
turn
and then remove the valve and ob­
serve the transfer of blue (or pencil lead) to the valve seat. An uneven transfer
will
indicate an

inaccurate
valve and valve seat refacing operation.

After
the seat is ground, check its width with a
seat width scale or a steel scale placed across the
face of the seat. The valve seat width after refacing
should measure [2,3 mm.] and not wider than
y%"
[3,2 mm.]. Valve seat width is
vital.
Too wide

a
seat can cause seat burning as it
tends
to trap

and
hold carbon particles. Seats that are too
narrow

will
not transfer heat to the coolant rapidly enough to keep the valves in proper operating condition.

When
a valve seat has been refaced several times

or
where it must be cut deeply for adequate recon­
ditioning, the seat may
become
too wide for efficient
operation. Narrow the seat without changing its
position in relation to the valve face by using a
valve seat relief counterbore above the seat and a valve seat narrowing cutter below the seat. These
operations are performed only after the valve
seats
have been refaced and then only when necessary.

The
finished valve seat should contact the approxi­mate center of the valve face.
Check
by applying

an
extremely thin coat of pencil lead or bearing-
fitting blue to the seat.
Then
install and rotate the
valve with light pressure. Blue (or pencil
marks)

will
transfer to the face of the valve. If the blue
is near the top
edge
of the valve face, lower the valve seat by using the valve seat relief counter-
bore. If the blue is transferred to the
bottom
edge

of the valve face, raise the seat by using the valve
seat narrowing cutter.

When
the valve seat can no longer be corrected, it
is advisable to investigate installing seat inserts.

D-60.
Exhaust
Valve Seat Insert Replacement

Hardened
valve seat inserts for exhaust valves
will

seldom require replacement. To avoid damaging the blcck, remove an insert with a tool designed for
this purpose.

When
installing a new insert, make certain the
counterbore is clean and smooth. Use a driver that

will
keep the insert in true alignment with the bore.

Cool
the insert and the installing tool with dry ice
for 30 minutes.

Note:
The insert should be sufficiently cooled
to permit installation with light taps; excessive

driving
of the insert may cock it in the counterbore

or
crack the insert.

Make
certain the valve seat is facing out.
Drive

in
the insert with the tool until it
bottoms
in the counterbore. After installation, grind the valve
seat at an angle of 45° and then check with a
dial

indicator
as shown in Fig. D-21.

Valve Guide Replacement

Damaged,
loose,
or worn valve
guides
must be re­

placed.
Use valve guide driver W-238 or equivalent
to drive out the old guides. When replacing valve
guides, maximum
engine
performance can be se­

cured
only when the guide is positioned correctly

Main Bearing
Fitting,
Feeler or
Shim
Stock

A
small strip of feeler or shim stock can be used
to check main bearing clearance. The method is
simple, but care must be taken to avoid damage
to the bearing surface from excessive pressure against the strip.

a.
Cut a rectangular piece of feeler or shim stock, .001"
[.0254
mm.] thick,
i/2"
[12,70
mm.] wide, and
Vs"
[3,175 mm.] shorter than the bearing width.
Position the bearing cap to the crankshaft journal
and
cylinder block, and install two cap
bolts
loosely.

b.
Tighten alternate cap bolts, a little at a time,

until
both have
been
tightened to 35 to 45 lb-ft. [4,8 a 6,2 kg-m.] torque.
c.
Turn
the crankshaft by hand, no more than one

inch
[2,5 cm.] in either direction.

Caution:
If the crankshaft is turned too far, it
will

embed the strip in the bearing surface.
This
will
damage the bearing and also cause a false indica­tion of bearing clearance.

If
bearing clearance is correct, the strip should cause a light to heavy drag, or resistance to rotation.
If
there is little or no drag, clearance is too great;

if
the crankshaft cannot be turned, clearance is
insufficient. In either case, a different main bear­ ing must be
selected
to obtain proper clearance.

d.
Repeat
steps
a, b, and c, as necessary, to
select

proper main bearing size. After a bearing has
been

selected, remove the
test
strip from bearing on
crankshaft

ENGINE
which
would cause rings to seat improperly or have
excessive clearance in
ring
grooves. Damaged or
faulty
pistons should be replaced,
c.
Inspect bearing surfaces of piston pins and check

for
wear by measuring worn and unworn surfaces

with
a micrometer. Rough or worn pins should be
replaced.
Test fit the piston pins in piston
bosses.
Occasionally,
a pin
will
be tight due to gum or

varnish
deposits.
This
may be corrected by remov­

ing
the deposit with a suitable solvent. If piston
bosses
are worn out-of-round or oversize, the piston

and
pin assembly must be replaced. Oversize pins
are
not
practical,
since the pin must be a press fit
in
the connecting rod bore. Piston pins must fit the
piston with an easy finger push at
70°F.
[21°C.].

They
should have .0004" to .0007"
[0,0178
a
0,0102
mm.] clearance.

Dl-46.
Piston Fitting

If
cylinder bores are rebored or heavily honed,
new and possibly oversize diameter pistons must be
installed.
A new piston must be fitted to its cylinder

bore.
A satisfactory method of fitting pistons is as
follows.

a.
Expand
a
telescope
gauge
to fit the cylinder bore at right angles to the piston pin and
between
1
Vi"
to 2" [3,7 a 5,1 cm.] from the top.

b.
Measure diameter of the piston to be fitted, as
shown in
Fig.
Dl-15. The piston must be measured

at
right angles to the piston pin, W [6,3 mm.] below the oil
ring
groove. The piston must be be-
FIG.
Dl-15—MEASURING
PISTON

1—90°
tween .001" and .0015" [0,025 a
0,038
mm.]

smaller
than the cylinder bore.

Note:
Both cylinder block and piston must be at

very
nearly the same temperature when measure­
ments are made or
errors
due to expansion
will
occur.
A difference of 10°F.
[5,6°C]
between
parts
is sufficient to produce a variation of .0009"
[0,0023
mm.].

The
pistons are cam-ground, which means that the
diameter at a right angle to the piston pin is
greater
than the diameter
parallel
to the piston

pin.
When a piston is checked for size, it must be
measured
with a micrometer applied to the
skirt

along a line
perpendicular
to axis of the piston pin.

Dl-47.
Piston Ring Fitting

When
new piston rings are to be installed without

reboring
cylinders,
the glazed cylinder walls should
be slightly dulled. However, cylinder bore diameter
should
not increase more than necessary.
Cylinder

walls
should be honed with the finest grade of
stone
to remove any glaze.
New compression rings must be checked for clear­ ance in piston
grooves
and for gap in cylinder bores;
however, the flexible oil rings are not checked for gap. The cylinder bores and piston
grooves
must
be clean, dry, and free of carbon and
burrs.

With
rings installed on piston, check clearance in
grooves
by inserting feeler
gauge
between
each
ring

and
its lower
land.
Any
ring
groove
wear
will
form

a
step
at inner portion of the lower
land.
If the
piston
grooves
have worn enough that relatively

high
steps
exist on the lower lands, the piston
should
be replaced because the
steps
will
interfere

with
proper operation of new rings and the
ring
clearances
will
be excessive. Piston rings are not

furnished
in oversize widths to compensate for
ring
groove
wear.

When
fitting new rings to new pistons, the side

clearance
of the compression rings should be .002" to .0035"
[0,051
a
0,089
mm.] for number one (1)

ring,
.003" to .005" [0,076 a 0,127 mm.] for number
two (2)
ring,
and side clearance of the oil
ring
should
be .0015" to .0085" [0,038 a
0,220
mm.].

To
check the end gap of a compression
ring,
place

it
in the cylinder in which it
will
be used, square

it
in the bore by tapping with the lower end of
a
piston, then measure the gap with a feeler
gauge.

A
compression
ring
should not have
less
than .015"
[0,381
mm.] gap when placed in cylinder

bore.
If gap is
less
than specified value, file the
end of the
ring
carefully with a fine file to obtain

proper
gap.

Piston and Connecting Rod Assembly

Note:
A connecting rod can spring out of alignment

in
shipping or handling. Always check a new con­
necting rod for misalignment before installing pis­
ton and pin.

a.
If a new connecting rod is to be installed, check
its alignment with an accurate rod alignment fix­

ture.

b.
If the piston and connecting rod assembly is
to be installed in the left cylinder bank, it must be assembled as shown in
Fig.
Dl-16. If the piston and
connecting rod assembly is to be installed in the
right
cylinder bank, it must be assembled as shown
in
Fig. Dl-17.
Note
that
these
two assemblies are

mirror-images
of each other.

c.
Lubricate
piston pin to avoid damage when

pressing
through the connecting rod.

Measure clearance of each valve stem in cor­
responding valve guide. For intake valves, this
clearance
should be .0012" to .0032" [0,0305 a

0,0813
mm.]. For exhaust valves, this clearance should be .0015" to .0035"
[0,0381

at top of guide and .002" to .004"
[0,051

replaced
by new valves with oversize stems.

Dl-63.
Cylinder
Head
and Valve
Repair
a.
If a valve stem has excessive clearance in its
guide, the guide must be reamed .004" [0,102 mm.]
oversize. Valves are available with oversize stems
to fit this valve guide diameter.

b.
Grind
valve faces or replace valves if necessary.

Valve
faces must be ground at an angle of 45 degrees. If a valve head must be ground to a
knife
edge
to obtain a true face, the valve should
be replaced.

c.
If necessary, grind valve seats at an angle of 45 degrees.
Grinding
a valve seat decreases valve
spring
pressure and increases the width of the seat.

The
nominal width of the valve seat is
[
1,59
mm.].
If a valve seat is wider than %" [1,98 mm.]
after grinding, it should be narrowed to specified

width
by the use of 20-degree and 70-degree stones.
Improper
operation of a hydraulic valve lifter may

result
if valve and seat are refinished to the extent
that the valve stem is raised more than .050" [1,27 mm.] above normal height. In this case, it
is necessary to grind off the end of the valve stetti or replace parts.

Note:
The normal height of the valve stem above
the valve spring seat surface of the head is
1.925"
[4,889 cm.].

d.
Lightly
lap the valves into seats with fine grind­
ing compound. The refacing and reseating should
leave the refinished surfaces smooth and true so that a minimum of lapping
will
be required. Ex­
cessive lapping
will
groove the valve face and pre­
vent
good
valve seating.
e. Test valve seats for concentricity with guides,
and
for proper valve seating. Coat a small segment
of the valve face lightly with Prussian blue pig­ ment.. Insert the valve stem into its guide and

turn
the valve face against the seat. If the valve seat is concentric with the valve guide, a
mark

will
be made all around the seat. If the seat is not concentric with the guide, a
mark
will
be made
on only one side of the seat.

Clean
all pigment from both valve and seat. .Next,
coat a small segment of the valve seat lightly with

Prussian
blue pigment. Again insert the valve stem into its guide and rotate the valve face against the
seat. If the valve face is concentric with the valve
stem, and if the valve is seating all the way around,
pigment
will
coat the valve face with a uniform
band
around its entire perimeter. Both of
these

tests
are necessary to prove that proper valve seat­
ing is obtained.
f. Inspect the valve springs visually for corrosion,

breaks,
and distortion.
With
a valve spring tester
check
each valve spring for proper tension. When

a
valve spring is compressed to a length of
1.640"
[4,166 cm.] (closed-valve condition), it should
have a tension of 64 lb. [29,03 kg.]. When a valve
spring
is compressed to a length of
1.260"
[3,200
cm.] (open-valve condition), it should have ten­ sion of 168 lb. [76,205 kg.]. Replace any valve
spring
which is visibly damaged or
does
not
meet

tension specifications.
