1/64" = .015"
CRANKSHAFT END PLAY
Crankshaft end play is .002” (.05 mm) to .026” (.66 mm) on vertical crankshaft engines and .004” (.10 mm)
to .012” (.30 mm) on horizontal crankshaft engines with one .015” (.4 mm) gasket in place. If end play is
less than .002” (.05 mm), which could be the case if a new crankcase cover or sump is used, additional
gaskets .005” (.13 mm), .009” (.23 mm) or .015” (.4 mm) may be added to obtain correct end play.
If end play is more than .026” (.66 mm) for vertical crankshaft engines or .012” (.30 mm) on horizontal
shaft engines, with one .015” (.4 mm) gasket in place, install thrust washer, Part #222951, Fig. 6. Install
thrust washer on PTO end of crankshaft, plain bearing engines or magneto end of crankshaft on engines with
ball bearing on PTO side only. Then adjust end play as described in previous paragraph.
