Norton Atlas Project - Shep - Part 37 - Engine Disassembly - Part 16 Crankshaft Journals

Brrr.. it's still a bit too cold to work in the garage but I did manage to spend a few minutes measuring the crankshaft Timing Side (T.S.), Drive Side (D.S.) and big end journals. BIG END JOURNAL DIAMETER MEASUREMENTS (inches): T.S. (Timing Side) Official:__________Bike (inside, middle, outside): 1.7500-1.7505____1.751-1.748-1.752* D.S. (Drive Side) Official:__________Bike (inside, middle, outside): 1.7500-1.7505____1.751-1.752-1.749* CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL DIAMETER MEASUREMENTS: T.S. (Timing Side) Official:__________Bike (inside, middle, outside): 1.1807-1.1812____1.1815-1.1805-1.1805/1.1815* D.S. (Drive Side) Official:__________Bike (inside, middle, outside): 1.1812-1.1815 ____1.1815-1.182 across the whole journal* The big end journals are a little out of tolerance but the T.S. and D.S. journals seem to be very close to tolerance. *Please note that I only have a relatively inexpensive digital caliper and not a micrometer, so it may also be a little out. I will have the journals measured and ground professionally. The readings were also taken in a cold garage and not under standard measuring conditions (which I understand is 70F - thank you Paul), so that may well have distorted the readings. Anyway, it was just a fun exercise to understand how far out the journals may be before sending them to be professionally evaluated.
