End Play

Push the crankshaft firmly away from the dial indicator, and zero the dial against the end of the crankshaft. Then pull the crankshaft firmly back toward the indicator; dial reading should not exceed service limit.
^ Crankshaft End Play:
- Standard (New): 0.10-0.35 mm (0.004-0.014 inch)
- Service Limit: 0.45 mm (0.018 inch)
^ If end play is excessive, inspect the thrust washers and thrust surface on the crankshaft. Replace parts as necessary.

NOTE: Thrust washer thickness is fixed and must not be changed either by grinding or shimming. Thrust washers are installed with grooved sides facing outward.
