Crankshaft

The crankshaft in an engine rotates constantly and may wear out over time. Its main job is to convert the up-and-down motion of the pistons into a smooth rotation. If the crankshaft is worn, the engine may start vibrating and making strange noises when starting. This often indicates problems, especially with the crankshaft bearings, which can be damaged by frequent use. It is important to carry out regular maintenance and replace worn parts on time to ensure that the crankshaft keeps working properly.

When replacing the crankshaft of a diesel engine after removing it from the vehicle, it is essential to inspect the engine for any other problems. Then dismantle the old crankshaft by removing the necessary components, such as the oil pan, pistons and connecting rods. Remove the retaining bolts and replace the crankshaft. Install new crankshaft bearings and make sure all surfaces are clean. Reinstall the engine components, including pistons and connecting rods
