How the crankshaft works

The terminology of a crankshaft is quite specialist, so we'll start with naming a few parts. A journal is the part of a shaft that rotates inside a bearing. As can be seen above, there are two types of journal on a crankshaft - the main bearing journals form the axis of rotation for the crankshaft, and the connecting rod journals are secured to the ends of the connecting rods, which run up Get price

Blueprint Series: Measuring and Setting Bearing Clearances

As an example with a small-block Chevy main journal of 2.200-inch – then an oil clearance of 0.0022-inch would be a great place to start. This discussion will focus on main and rod bearings in a mild, street-driven performance engines that might see occasional high-RPM use, like at the drag strip. Get price

Crankshaft main bearings

Turns out the rear main bearing cap was .002 over width, and when I would hammer it into place, it would press the rear bearings just enough to bind the crank journal. After the machinist measured and milled that amount off the tighter side, everything fit back together with no pinching and a freely turning crankshaft. Get price

Meaning of Clearance and Tolerance, by EPI Inc.

2020/1/1Suppose we have a crankshaft in which all the main bearing journal outside diameters (OD) are exactly the nominal (desired, ideal) diameter of 2.4488 inches. Further, suppose that the inside diameter (ID) of all the main bearing bores in the engine block arel exactly the nominal of 2.6411 and that all the main bearing shells are exactly the nominal thickness of 0.0953.

Crankshaft Repair

If the surface finish on the crankshaft journal is not right or the geometry is slightly off, the bearings will suffer the consequences when the crankshaft is put into service. While polishing in one direction and then automatically polishing in the opposite direction, the QPAC system leaves a better finish and eliminates microscopic peaks that can cause premature bearing failure.
