FAQs:

Can a damaged crankshaft be repaired?

The only safe way to repair a crankshaft is if the damage is contained within the pins – you can grind them to undersize. Any other damage would, unfortunately, mean a new crankshaft is required. Bad news, but much better than the risk of blowing the whole engine

Is a crankshaft easy to fix?

It should be remembered, though, that in all cases, crankshaft repair is a highly specialised area of engine repair that requires the use of specialised equipment, having expert-level knowledge about crankshaft repair procedures, and possessing technical skills that take several years to acquire.

What is the crankshaft in a diesel engine?

The crankshaft is essentially the backbone of the internal combustion engine. The crankshaft is responsible for the proper operation of the engine and converting a linear motion to a rotational motion.
