Fig. 328 shows a crank-shaft with both end bearings removed, the crankcase wall and theupper bearings being indicated in section, and the lower half of thecrankcase removed. The shaft is held up by the central cap A,and the front bottom cap B is shown in perspective. If the mainbearings have shims similar to A A, Fig. 327, it is only necessaryto take out whatever thickness is necessary to make the bearing. Fig. 328—Tightening the crankshaft bearings tight.

If there are no shims, the flat faces C C must be filed. Abearing taken up in this manner is seldom a first-class job, becauseit rarely results that the shaft has a full bearing all over the sur-face. Generally the shaft is out of line, or it is cut, or the bear-ing is cut; and taking up as above described simply enables the carto be run a few hundred miles farther, to save putting it in theshop at an inconvenient time. TEMPORARY REPAIRS TO BROKEN SPRINGSA spring is most apt to break in the center, as in Fig. 329. Thespring clips A A will probably hold it together after a fashion,but the ends will sag and put a dangerous strain on the clips. Ahard-wood board B, from 1 inch to 2 inches thick, should be pro-cured, and the sides trimmed down so that it will be about 5 incheswide in the center and 2 or 3 inches wide at the ends. Drive nailsC C in the ends of the board, jack up the frame of the car to takethe weight off the spring, put t
