Measuring of crosshead pin clearances

keep the crank throw 90 degree before BDC in the exhaust side. Measure the clearance by inserting feeler gauge between bearing cap and journal, near the landing face of piston rod
bottom end. If it is more than 1mm x head bearing must be opened up and inspected. Max wear allowed is 50% of oil groove.

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
