Is your criteria for inspecting gears pretty much the same throughout the engine? I'm trying to evaluate our cam gears, timing chain sprocket, and flange sprockets to determine if they are suitable to be reused.
If a shaft journal is even a few thousandths mm less than spec, it is trash? I assume using a new standard bearing with a worn shaft wouldn't get you to an acceptable clearance. I can't find oversized intermediate shaft bearings. Are the journal specs found in the small Technical Specifications book? I could not find them or a running clearance in the factory workshop manual. Thanks.
Dennis, Yes is the shaft is undersize then it should not be used. The specifications are in both the tech handbook and the main shop manual. There is no oversize bearing options, just replace the shaft and new bearings. Kurt
Awesome video Kurt
I really learned a lot
Thank you!
Glad you liked it!

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make this
Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, it is the same through out the engine

Yes the inspection process is going to be the same.

Regarding that measuring tool/fixture, did you buy it or did you make it ?
I made it

Kurt great video........whats going on with the audio?!
Sorry about that, the mike fell down Kurt's shirt in the first part. It got better, sorry you had to hear the compressor way too much!
Can you add anything about bearing crush? My thrust bearing is sitting proud in the case about .015"
its sounds like you have not seated the bearing all the way into the case. The bearing will sit a little proud but not 0.015" (0.35 mm)
