II)  In case due to accident, deep line marks or depression is developed.
III) Reconditioning of crankshaft is recommended in case higher hardness is observed due to seizer of bearings or any other reason.
IV) Development of surface crack
V) Loss of alignment.
VI) In certain cases, although the dimensions of CR Pin and Main Journal are observed within the limit, but due to rough surface observed on CR Pin and of Main Journal, surface require polishing.
