vertical and horizontal directions. When measuring vertical rod moment, 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. Bar over crankshaft by hand and<br />

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

determine clearance at the top of the piston. On wear band pistons this clearance is over the<br />

band. Feeler top clearance is divided by ()) 2 and then the following amount is subtracted:<br />

(-)0.003 inches (0.08 mm). Place a feeler of this calculated thickness under the bottom of<br />

the piston. Place the feeler under the wear band on wear band pistons. This feeler should be<br />

long enough to stay under the piston as the piston is moved throughout its stroke. Re-measure<br />

vertical run out and compare to acceptable limits in the table above. The horizontal<br />

readings, taken without the use of feelers are to be used for acceptance. Copy Table 5-4<br />

and record calculations and readings.<br />
