FA - Starrett 696 and 696B Crank Shaft Distortion Dial Gauge
this is a pretty interesting specialty gauge - could be of interest to some
of the NG - it's very cool I must say http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7545711932 -- Bill also check out http://www.wbnoble.com |

This tends to be a common check that is done on marine diesels and large
stationary engines as a preventative maintenance exercise. It shows how well the main bearings are aligned.The bearings in large engines can be aligned individually unlike smaller engines which a line bored and stay aligned for the life of the engine.

for those of you who know how this is REALLY used, I'm curious - is is
measuring bending of the crankshaft, or what? how do you set it up (the stuff on the web is less than clear), and what are you really measuring? "Tom Miller" wrote in message . ..
