In order to see which main bearing should be adjusted (aligned), the figures above can be
used for making a deflection curve as shown in
ing the Deflections' earlier in this Chapter.

If the deflection measurements (autolog) have been carried out correctly, the deflection sums G and D should
not deviate more than 1/6 of the values given in plate 70817, col. 1 (marked with *).
1G and D differ more, this may indicate that the dial gauge has moved, or has been read incorrectly. The
deflection measurements for the cylinder(s) concerned should be repeated. Here, e.g. it is recommended to
‘examine crank No. 7.
1G and D still differ, this must then be due to a floating journal or ovality/eccentricity. Check for any
clearance between the journal and the lower shell in the relevant bearing(s) with a 5/100 mm feeler gauge
with the crankshaft in four 90° positions.
If the feeler gauge can enter, then the journal is floating’, and this must be remedied.
