]]> It is observed that the crankshaft repair companies based in Europe, UK, and Singapore do not have the facilities and necessary equipment to undertake onsite grinding and polishing of small crankpin diameters and small bearing widths. The grinding of a small diameter crankpin and the bearing width requires a grinding tool that is compact enough to be placed on the crankpin journal. For example – a Crankpin has a diameter of 130 mm and, a bearing width of 56 mm. Complete tooling is required to be inserted from the limited space available of the engine block window and has to be placed on the crankpin bearing width.

Due to the non-availability of tooling with the leading crankshaft engine repair companies, they generally advise removing the crankshaft from the engine block and sending it to the workshop for grinding and polishing purposes. We have observed in some cases even advice for replacement of the crankshaft is also given. This suggestion works out to be very expensive and time-consuming, especially in this time of recession.
