Remove all burrs from the crankshaft oil holes using a stone, file, or scraper to ensure the oil holes are chamfered, preventing sharp edges from gouging or scratching the new bearings. Clean the crankshaft with solvent and dry it with compressed air if available, ensuring to clean the oil holes with a stiff brush and flush them with solvent. Inspect the main and connecting rod bearing journals for uneven wear, scoring, pits, and cracks, and check the rest of the crankshaft for cracks and other damage, utilizing magnafluxing to reveal hidden issues, which can be handled by an automotive machine shop. Measure the diameter of the main and connecting rod journals with a micrometer, comparing results at several points to detect taper and out-of-round conditions, taking measurements at each end of the journal near the crank throws. If the journals are damaged, tapered, out-of-round, or worn beyond specified limits, have the crankshaft reground by an automotive machine shop, ensuring the use of the correct size bearing inserts if reconditioned. Examine the oil seal journals at each end of the crankshaft for wear and damage; if grooves, nicks, or scratches are present, the new seal may leak upon reassembly. An automotive machine shop may repair the journal by pressing on a thin sleeve, but if repair isn't feasible, consider installing a new or different crankshaft.
