Question 416Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) Once the bearing cap is properly torqued, measure the end gap dimensions to ascertain even tightening of the cap. This is the correct answer because it is important to ensure the bearing cap is tightened evenly to prevent damage to the bearing or other components. Measuring the end gap dimensions after torqueing the cap allows the technician to verify the cap has been tightened properly and evenly. The other options are incorrect because: B) Reassembling a device with contaminants is generally not recommended, as it can lead to premature failure; C) Positioning the thrust shoes in the proper locations is important, but it does not directly relate to installing the bearing cap; and D) Torqueing one side at a time is not necessary for a bearing cap installation.
