How to manually set a crank shaft to engine.

This video shows how a crankshaft is manually installed, also who to place the bed plate over it.
Automobile Engineering tutorials This was documented while assembling as diesel engine, as you see this video you can see that, the cylinder block is inverted used an engine manipulator for the installation of the crank shaft. Crankshaft mating point or area is clearly visible. The crank shaft has been manually lifted and kept on the slot over the crank shaft bearings.
After the crank shaft has been placed, it needs to be checked for alignment with the bearing, as show in the video. Now we place the thrust bearing, its purpose is to adjust the play of the crank shaft to the recommended limit.
Next we place the bed plate over the cylinder block. Before that the sealant has to be applied on the bed plate for proper mating and avoids leakage.
