Illustration 3 g06539857Illustration 3 shows the locations of the oil passages in the crankshaft. A borescope (T1) should be inserted from all entries into a passage.
Record the crankshaft serial number.
Borescope all drilled oil passages in the crankshaft journals, looking for burrs, or loose material.Note: Oil passages must be inspected from both directions to confirm whether an issue is present.
Main oil passages 2, 3, 5, and 6 have an angle in the middle of the passage which needs to be inspected from both directions.
Main oil passages 1, 4, and 7 are straight passages that need to be inspected from both directions.
Illustration 4 g06539865
Oil passages 1 through 4
For oil passage 3, inspect to the intersection with all drilling for number 4.
For oil passage 4, inspect all the way to the main journal oil passage. Note all findings for oil passage 4.
Capture images of all unusual findings using camera (T2).
