ovality checks

ovality in crank pin:
caused by directional thrust+lub oil failure+ unevenloading of cylinders + overloading. Maximum allowed is 1/4th of bearing clearance. Measured by an external micrometer taking fillet or oil grove as reference and compare it with previous readings. it can be removed by griding upto 2mm depth.

ovality in bottom end of con rod:

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).
