crosshead guide. A 0.0015 inches (0.04 mm) feeler stock should not be able to be inserted<br />

more than 1/2 inches (13 mm) at all four corners of the crosshead.<br />

Before rotating the crankshaft, operate the pre-lube pump to lubricate the bearings.<br />

Position the dial indicator 1 stem against the piston rod, close to the packing case. Set the<br />

indicator to zero with the piston at the crank end. Readings are to be taken in both the vertical<br />

and horizontal directions. When measuring vertical rod movement, upward movement<br />

will be recorded as positive, downward movement will be recorded as negative. When measuring<br />

horizontal rod movement, rod movement toward the auxiliary end of the frame, will be<br />

recorded as a positive reading, movement toward the drive end of the frame will be recorded<br />

as a negative reading. Copy Table 5-2 to record readings. Manually rotate the crankshaft<br />

and record readings at mid-stroke and with piston at the head end.<br />

If a vertical reading is greater than the maximum acceptable reading, the following procedure<br />

is to be used to determine acceptability: With the piston at the head end, use feeler<br />

gages to determine clearance at the top of the piston. On wear band or rider ring pistons,<br />

this clearance is over the rings or wear band. Feeler top clearance is to be divided by two (/<br />

2) and then subtract (-) 0.005 inches (0.13 mm). Place a feeler of this calculated thickness<br />

under the bottom of the piston. Place the feeler under the wear band or rider ring on wear<br />

band or rider ring pistons. This feeler is to be long enough to stay under the piston as the<br />

piston is moved throughout its stroke. Re-measure vertical run out and compare to accept-<br />

1. Use a 0.0001 inches (0.001 mm) increment calibrated dial indicator.<br />
