How to Measure your Engine Crankshaft for Rod Bearings and Main Bearings: Farmall H or W-4

Selecting the correct bearing size could be confusing. In this video, Rachel makes the process easy. She shows where to measure and how to match your crankshaft up to the correct size rod bearings and main bearings. The chart shown is for an International C152 engine (Farmall H, W-4, O-4 and I-4 Tractors).

Hey young lady where you been love watching your videos ,your knowledge is amazing .wish we could see more of your rebuilds. Stay safe

As always, a very straight forward professional video. What shop wouldn't be head over heals to have such talent. That said, precise measurements are somewhat intimidating to novices. As such, I'd recommend you include taking actual measurements in your videos. While professionals are comfortable in dealing with thousandths of an inch, many if not most weekend mechanics aren't used to do doing so and may feel it is beyond their capabilities. Showing the proper use of micrometers, calipers and feeler gauges in your videos would help assure them.

Or... for most of the world...in metric measure.....

[@richardanderson2411]

@@neville132bbk For most of us, we keep measuring tools in inch and metric. For these old US and Brit tractors, it is inches.

@@richardanderson2411 thanks, Richard...in the 50s through to the 70s Ferguson 35s were very popular on NZ farms..still numbers around for light work

I’ve been watching car and bike rebuild videos for years and no one has explained it nearly as well as you have. Thank you for for taking the time to explain it in full.

[@abz124816]

You sound like you studied mechanical engineering and you truly understand what you are saying rather being a voice actor who reads a script. Excellent!!!

[@abuabdallahalutiby5161]

Thank you for this report on the crankshaft. Saudi

I am restoring a 1947 Farmall and i watched a lot of your videos you know your stuff and thank you for your help 👍😃👍

[@41plymouthnut87]

Thank you for all your informative videos.

[@buckthrusthorn1104]

Where have you been thought you disappeared!! great video!

[@dosman01302]

Another great Video! Thank you! Also I finally did change that lifter and valve on the 49 8n with a adjustable lifter. Worked out fine, Thanks for your help Rachel!

[@NareshJangra108]

Rachel ji, you have given very good information, thank you very much👌👍🇮🇳🚜🚜😀😀

[@CAPTAIN-xj5dd]

Hi I am studying mechanical engineering. I think your video is really helpful. I am so curious to know about engine

[@3Sphere]

WoW. You really know your stuff. Very informative and interesting. Thanks!!

[@AnsariBaksh]

That's some serious tongue twisters there :-). Always enjoy your videos.

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Always measure crank journals in two places 90° apart. Use a quality micrometer. Starrett or Mititoyo Browne Sharpe etc. Also always chamfer radius oil holes smooth on all journals.

[@jwhiskey242]

Rachel is so awesome.

[@ihus9950]

Great info, Thanks for sharing 👍

[@JEDI-MAQUINAS]

👍👍👍🇧🇷

[@larrennoble7288]

When you are tearing down your motor a quick check with plastic guage will tell you what wear the crank journals have. Then you will have some direction where the overhaul is going and an idea of oil clearance.

[@fireyourrocketts]

I did not measure my crankshaft but machine shop lightly worked the journals to achieve smoothness, cylinders were de-glazed not exactly bored, surface was cut a minimum pass, not much and i installed standard sizes for all components; I am wondering if the engine will run ok when start and if I would not destroy it.

[@dotdotdotr]

I would give about anything if my wife was half as interesting. Not saying I don't love my wife. Just a statement. Thanks for the videos Dan & Rachel. I seem to learn something new with each one.

[@kallitfishin319]

Can you use a caliper gauge to measure in sted of a dial bore gauge

[@qzorn4440]

this is my new corvid19 Hollywood-movie fix until the new "007 and wonder-woman" movies come out, however there are some drive-ins filling the spot with old shows "weird science" :\ and more pop-up drive-ins are coming...thanks :) ps great little video RG

[@modifyman6977]

And with that explanation, I am now positive that I will not be removing the main caps...because I won't be removing the crank...because I won't be removing the engine. The only thing I want to remove, well, the main thing I want to remove is that un-holy intarnation knock. So only the rod bearings...So now, how do I figure what size I need? This works for other engines...the math, not your chart... Okay, the math your chart follows...and what you explained. Yes. This actually is the first video that bothered to explain in detail, with an example yet. So I should measure the crank at each rod and find the original specifications and subtract the original from...no, the current from the original. And that should do it...I hope.

[@modifyman6977]

I seem to be a couple years behind of the rest. I wonder if Scotty Kilmer knows. He is pretty knowledgeable about engines. ... I think he's had too much coffee before his videos.

[@wiedietie]

Dear Rachel, I have a question. Is Dan Gingell your husband or father or just familie? Hope you will answer me.
