What causes crankshaft wear or damage?
Common causes include poor lubrication, bearing failure, overheating, or misalignment. Over time, these issues can lead to scoring, cracks, or distortion. Regular oil changes, quality filters, and routine inspections help prevent crankshaft wear and extend its service life.
What is crankshaft grinding?
Crankshaft grinding involves machining the crankshaft journals to restore correct dimensions and smooth surfaces. This process removes imperfections and wear, ensuring proper oil clearance and bearing fit. Precision grinding is essential for restoring performance and preventing future engine damage.
Can a cracked crankshaft be repaired?
Minor cracks can sometimes be repaired using processes like metal stitching or welding, depending on their location and severity. However, in many cases, a cracked crankshaft should be replaced to maintain engine safety and structural integrity. A professional assessment is essential.
