8T-5096 Dial Indicator Group
If you use any other method of checking the face runout, remember that the bearing clearance must be removed. Remove the clearance in order to get the correct measurements.
Fasten a dial indicator to the flywheel so the anvil of the dial indicator will contact the face of the flywheel housing.
Put a force on the crankshaft toward the rear before the dial indicator is read at each point.

Checking face runout of the flywheel housing
The engine must be prelubed before the crankshaft is rotated. Damage can result if the crankshaft is rotated on dry bearing surfaces.
Turn the flywheel while the dial indicator is set at 0.0 mm (.00 inch) at location (A). Read the dial indicator at locations (B), (C), and (D).
The difference between the lower measurements and the higher measurements that are performed at all four points must not be more than 0.38 mm (.015 inch) Bore Runout (Radial Eccentricity) of the Flywheel Housing Bore Runout (Radial Eccentricity) of the Flywheel Housing

8T-5096 Dial Indicator
Fasten a dial indicator to the flywheel so the anvil of the dial indicator will contact the bore of the flywheel housing.

While the dial indicator is in the position at location (C), adjust the dial indicator to 0.0 mm (.00 inch). Push the crankshaft upward against the top of the bearing. Refer to the illustration 4. Write the measurement for bearing clearance on line 1 in column (C). Note: Write the measurements for the dial indicator with the correct notations. This notation is necessary for making the calculations in the chart correctly.
Divide the measurement from Step 2 by two. Write this number on line 1 in columns (B) and (D).
The engine must be prelubed before the crankshaft is rotated. Damage can result if the crankshaft is rotated on dry bearing surfaces.
Turn the flywheel in order to put the dial indicator at (A). Adjust the dial indicator to 0.0 mm (.00 inch).

Checking bore runout of the flywheel housing
Turn the flywheel counterclockwise in order to put the dial indicator at (B). Write the measurements in the chart.
Turn the flywheel counterclockwise in order to put the dial indicator at (C). Write the measurement in the chart.
Turn the flywheel counterclockwise in order to put the dial indicator at (D). Write the measurement in the chart.
Add the lines together in each column.
Subtract the smaller number from the larger number in column B and column D. Place this number on line III. The result is the horizontal eccentricity (out of round). Line III in column C is the vertical eccentricity.

Graph for total eccentricity
(1) Total vertical eccentricity
(2) Total horizontal eccentricity
(3) Acceptable value
(4) Unacceptable value
On the graph for total eccentricity, find the point of intersection of the lines for vertical eccentricity and horizontal eccentricity.
If the point of intersection is in the range marked “Acceptable”, the bore is in alignment. If the point of intersection is in the range marked
