Crankshaft repair cost


Crankshaft is one of the main mechanical parts of the engine. Sometimes,
same drivers can see that motor is not efficiency as the first time operating.
If you hear someone knocking inside engine, it could also indicate engine
crankshaft problems.  It would be appropriate to say about these problems
now, but I suggest to begin with the main questions which will see in this
article:
1. Engine Crankshaft Problems;
2. The main repair methods of the crankshaft;
3. What influences the crankshaft repair cost?
4. Crankshaft Services & Pricing.
Engine Crankshaft Problems
We started be saying that crankshaft is very important part of internal
combustion engine. This part converts chemical fuel energy into motion.
The crankshaft provides a nexus between engine and gearbox. When it
crashes is not possible to avoid costly repair.
Usually, the crankshaft can be crashed by two main reasons: engine oil
not enough or excessive engine loading. Most modern cars are not afraid
last reason crankshaft crash, because vehicle electric system controls all
engine functions. The electric system turns off fuel supply, if engine begins
to work with excessive loading. 

1 – Crankshaft flexing; 2 – wear of the outer surface of


the crankshaft flange; 3 – run-out face plane of flange;
4 – wear of oil canals; 5 –  wear of  bearing  hole; 6 – 
wear of flywheel bolts; 7 – connecting rod bearing and
crankshaft bearing damage; 8 – wear of journals for 
hub pulley and gear; 9 – wear of groove keyway; 10 –
increasing the length of the front crankshaft journal; 11
– increasing the length of  crankshaft connecting rod
journals.
The first reason is not enough of engine oil can be main reason of
crankshaft problems. There is no oil between the parts which leads to dry
friction. Effects of this problem can be connecting rod bearing damage,
crankshaft bearing damage and the crash of crankshaft finally.
How to define that engine need crankshaft repair? It`s rule that
problems of crankshaft have loud knocking.
The main repair methods of the crankshaft
Experience has shown that small sized crankshaft will be better for replace,
but oversized crankshaft will be better to repair.  If this is the case will it be
possible to achieve a comprehensive cost savings. Friction forces,
vibrations, different loadings affects at the crankshaft in time engine
operating.
This leads to crankshaft and connecting rod bearing journals wearing. So
they have irregular wear: taper in length; ovality – in diameter; quality
violation of bearing journals surface: notches, scratches or corrosion;
mechanical damage: crankshaft cracks, thread defects; crankshaft
deflection.  Exploration of someone crankshaft problems shown these are
consequences fatigue of metals and internal stress inside.
In order to eliminate defects of crankshaft used repair technology bearing
journals by repair size, grinding with the next polishing,   different kinds of
surfacing and plasma spraying. Crankshaft flexing can be eliminated by the
plastic deformation method.    

What influences the crankshaft repair cost?


Unfortunately, the repair of a crankshaft is very difficult process that can do
professional only. It needs to do grinding of bearing journals on the special
equipment.   Let`s go explore the main possible works by crankshaft repair.

Main types of crankshaft repair:


 Grinding;
 Dressing;
 Polishing;
 Crankshaft pulley repair;
 Canal cleaning;
 Connecting rod bearing replacement; 
 Crankshaft Balancing.
Crankshaft repair is serious task, so it would have to be professional
specialists and very expensive equipment. And you should not forget that
dismantling the crankshaft also costs money. How much money does a
crankshaft repair need?
