CRANKSHAFT VIBRATION DAMPER AND PULLEY REPLACEMENT - CONTINUED
0147 00
CLEANING AND INSPECTION - CONTINUED
1.
Inspect the vibration damper and replace it if any of the following conditions exist:
a.
There is any impact damage to the outer casing.
b.
There is leakage of the viscous fluid from the cover plate.
c.
There is movement of the pulley or the outer ring on the hub.
d.
There is a large amount of gear train wear that is not caused by lack of oil.
e.
Analysis of the engine oil has revealed that the front main bearing is badly worn.
f.
The engine has had a failure because of a broken crankshaft.
2.
Check the areas around the holes for the bolts in the vibration damper for cracks or for wear and damage.
3.
Use the following steps in order to check the alignment and runout of the vibration damper:
a.
Remove any debris from the front face of the vibration damper. Remove any debris from the circumference of the
vibration damper.
b.
Use a suitable lever in order to move the vibration damper forward. This will eliminate the end play of the crank-
shaft. Do not use excessive force to move the vibration damper away from the engine.
c.
Mount the dial indicator on the front cover. Use the dial indicator to measure the outer face of the vibration
damper. Set the dial indicator to read 0.00 in. (0.00 mm).
d.
Rotate the crankshaft at intervals of 90 degrees and read the dial indicator.
e.
The difference between the lower measurements and the higher measurements that are read on the dial indicator at
all four points must not be more than 0.007 in. (0.18 mm).
N OT E
If the reading on the dial indicator is more than 0.007 in. (0.18 mm), inspect the pulley and the vibration
damper for damage. If the pulley or the vibration damper are damaged, use new parts for replacement.
f.
Move the dial indicator so that the dial indicator will measure the circumference of the vibration damper. Set the
dial indicator to read 0.00 in. (0.00 mm).
g.
Slowly rotate the crankshaft in order to measure the runout of the circumference of the vibration damper. Use the
highest reading and the lowest reading on the dial indicator. The maximum and the minimum readings on the dial
indicator should not vary more than 0.005 in. (0.12 mm).
N OT E
If the reading on the dial indicator is more than 0.005 in. (0.12 mm), inspect the pulley and the vibration
damper for damage. If the pulley or the vibration damper are damaged, use new parts for replacement.
