Crankshaft

The crankshaft in an engine rotates constantly and can wear out over time. Its main task is to convert the up-and-down motion of the pistons into a smooth rotating motion. If the crankshaft is worn, the engine may vibrate and make strange noises when starting. This often indicates problems, especially with the crankshaft bearings which can be damaged by frequent use. It is important to perform regular maintenance and replace worn parts in time to ensure that the crankshaft continues to function properly.

When replacing the crankshaft on a diesel engine after it has been removed from the vehicle, it is essential to inspect the engine for any other problems. Then disassemble the old crankshaft by removing the necessary components, such as the oil pan, pistons and connecting rods. Remove the mounting bolts and replace the crankshaft. Install new crankshaft bearings and ensure all surfaces are clean. Reinstall the engine components, including pistons and connecting rods
