Additions:
Ensure all main bearing caps are marked for location on cylinder block. Some main bearing caps have an arrow stamped on them. The arrow must face [[TimingBelt timing belt]] or [[TimingBelt timing chain]] end of engine. Remove main bearing cap bolts. Remove main bearing caps. Carefully remove crankshaft. Use care not to bind crankshaft in cylinder block during removal.
Thoroughly [[EngineCleaning clean crankshaft]] using solvent. Dry with compressed air. Ensure all oil passages are clear and free of sludge, rust, dirt and metal chips.
Inspect crankshaft for scoring and nicks. Inspect crankshaft for cracks using [[EngineDamageInspection Magnaflux]] procedure. Inspect rear seal area for grooving or damage. Inspect bolt hole threads for damage. If pilot bearing or bushing is used, check pilot bearing or bushing fit in crankshaft. Inspect crankshaft gear for damaged or cracked teeth. Replace gear if damaged. Ensure oil passage plugs are tight (if equipped).

Additions:
Using micrometer, measure all journals in 4 areas to determine journal taper, out-of-round and undersize. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/GeneralAuto/CrankJournals.gif See Figure]]. Some crankshafts can be reground to the next largest undersize, depending on the amount of wear or damage. Crankshafts with rolled fillet cannot be reground and must be replaced.
Crankshaft journal runout should be checked. Install crankshaft in "V" blocks or bench center. Position dial indicator with tip resting on the main bearing journal area. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/GeneralAuto/MainBearingRunout.gif See figure]]. Rotate crankshaft and note reading. Journal runout must not exceed specification. Repeat procedure on all main bearing journals. Crankshaft must be replaced if runout exceeds specification.
Crankshaft end play can be checked using feeler gauge. Pry crankshaft rearward. Pry crankshaft forward. Using feeler gauge, measure clearance between crankshaft and thrust bearing surface. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/GeneralAuto/CrankEndPlay.gif See Figure]].
