5. Measure the crankshaft thrust clearance as follows:<br />
a. Install a magnetic base on the top of #1 main bearing cap, with a button type<br />
dial indicator placed against the side of the adjacent crankshaft web as<br />
shown in Figure 5-12 on Page 5-19.<br />
b. Use a large pry bar against the compressor frame and thrust the crankshaft<br />
tight toward the dial indicator. Release pressure on the pry bar. Manually<br />
rotate the crankshaft just slightly to break oil adhesion, then turn the<br />
crankshaft back to the original position. Set the dial indicator to zero. Then<br />
pry the crankshaft to thrust in the opposite direction tight and release<br />
pressure. manually rotate the crankshaft just slightly, then turn back to the<br />
original position to determine thrust clearance. Repeat to be sure that<br />
reading is accurate. Note that crankshaft thrust clearance can also be<br />
checked externally without removing the top covers.<br />
c. If thrust clearance is out of limits, replace thrust plates and bearing shells at<br />
the #1 main bearing cap.<br />
6. After installing new bearings, check jack and thrust clearances against the clearance<br />
limits. See Table 1-4 on Page 1-13. If clearances are outside of limits, contact<br />
your packager or <strong>Ariel</strong>. Record readings on a copy of the form on<br />
page 5-68.<br />
