  • Many of you have seen this one before. I apologize if bringing it back offends anyone.
    Domestickilla gave me a crankshaft, and it's a nice one that I want to clean up and use again. You'll be seeing a lot of it and because of this, this video deserves to be here. I fixed what I broke, and this was my experience.
    In this video Ballos Precision Machine demonstrates magnetic dye penetrant testing, crankshaft polishing and inspecting the balance of a "butchered" 4g63 6-bolt crankshaft.

    From my own racing experience , having rebuilt engines in the pits between saturday and sunday , I can confirm a few interesting things. Journals can have gnarly DEEP grooves as long they are inline with the rotation of the crank and and you smooth them out as best you can. But if they curve outward , they'll divert oil outward. Consider how high quality aftermarket bearings often have a deep-ass groove by design AND are narrower overall than OEM. Also you can sand the surface of the bearing , you can throw it in the dirt and still use it. You can dump aluminum shavings in your motor along with kitty litter , but no iron or steel. You can reuse removed bearings but you have bend them outward a little bit so they'll fit snug. If they're loose , they'll spin. The tang won't stop it , only crush does....or snug fitment. Oh , and you can race an engine with no secondary rings or oil control rings , didn't make much of a difference.

      I have found engines to be odd creatures as to some of the smallest details that can have detrimental effects, yet some large discrepancies the engine can shrug off.
      At some outboard boat drags, one of the competitors in unlimited class burned a piston with a big hose-down of nitrous. He needed to run another heat later that day. He didn't have a new piston. He removed the piston & rod and still twisted it to 7500rpm on 7 holes. Absolutely, it wasn't good for longevity. The guy owned a performance outboard shop and wasnt too concerned with side effects. But, the fact that the engine did it without throwing parts like an Olympic shot-putter left me scratching my head.

      @@Resistculturaldecline An engine will run wide open with Mtn Dew for oil for about 10 minutes but if you don't ground the block to the chassis , static electricity will arc between the crank journals and the bearings and cause erosion until they fail. Engine's fascinating machines , I would hate to see them get replaced with electric stuff. Manufacturers are taking a renewed interest in alternative fuel development, so that might save them.

    Back when I was in high school (about 1976/77) we had a class trip to what you might call a mass production rebuilder. (Garden State Motors).
    When they got an engine with a worn out crankshaft they would put it in a machine with an arc welding stick on it. They would weld a bead across all of the journals.
    They would machine it down to the original specs.
    I have never seen anything like it before or since.

      Spent 15 years rebuilding crankshafts. Our welding procedure was submerged arc and doing that bends the piss out of the shaft. Must be straightened and then reground, but certainly doable. The straigtening process can cause the shaft to break though, so, it's not for everyone. Certainly cool to do.

    Correction on the NDI, it's not a Magnetic particle inspection and Dye penetrant are two different things, Magnetic particle which is shown here uses very fine metallic things which funny enough called "glow stuff" by magnaflux when I read thru my publications which is carried by a carrier normally oil based. The dye penetrant is just as its name, its a dye that seeps into the fine cracks, you remove the excess after letting it dwell (normally 30mins) and apply a developer over it and wait again which is half the time of the penetrant dwell time (15mins) and then you can inspect afterwards w/ black light under a dark room.

    • @Jafromobile

      +Mark Mohammed That is a multi-plane crankshaft, and it's balanced for the previous assembly. In your case, simply making them all weigh the same won't work.

    Hey man, Would you know of a tool that allows polishing/grinding of the crankshaft journal without having to remove it? I was thinking of a tool composed of 2 semi circles with sanding stones that together form a circle around the journal.
    Or would you know the name of the 'belt sander' that you used? My crankshaft is badly scored and I was thinking of perhaps using a stainless steel connecting rod bearing to wear out and smooth out the crankshaft a litlle....

    • @Jafromobile
      @Jafromobile  Před 7 lety +2

      We're going to measure them and find out. To be fair, spec is .0008 to .0020", service limit is .004". Depending on how you will use your engine, you've got a lot of room to play with in that spec. I set the hyundai up at .003" because it doesn't have oil squirters or balance shafts. The rods are at .0025 which is also 5 ten thousandths beyond spec. You gotta think about how you're going to use that engine, how your oil system can be affected by modifications, and consider what role your oil clearances play in that equation. Loose is fast. Tight is long. If you want it to last a long time on the street, un-modified, set it up tight. We'll know if the oil clearances are a problem once we start with a set of standard bearings and take measurements first... then see if it fits my purposes. I'll want it set the GSX up on the looser side, and if we didn't shave too much off if I can probably get away with standard bearings. We'll see. The GSX has no balance shafts, but it will have oil squirters.

    • @Jafromobile
      @Jafromobile  Před 7 lety +1

      After a normal old regular polishing, yes, you should be able to use the same bearings. That's why the specification gives you a range of clearances that are acceptable, BUT, you should always measure the crank and the bore to be sure. If one is off so bad you can't correct it, you have to make them all match without mixing and matching bearings. You'r not supposed to use an oversize bearing with the rest of a normal set if one's out.

      Nah. Bad idea. Crankshafts should be balanced to within 3 grams, and there's less than a snowball's chance that the coating could be applied accurately enough to keep it in balance. Balance it afterwards? I wouldn't want to have to machine a part of the rotating assembly because of a coating. There are better coatings than Glyptal to use for stuff like that, and in the end they still don't add any horsepower.

    • @Jafromobile
      @Jafromobile  Před 8 lety

      +shawn sharpe There's 2 schools of thought on this, really. There's the "storing a crank on X side is bad and causes warpage", then there's the "Are you f***ing crazy? A crankshaft won't bend from storing it, it's made out of forged steel". The first crew I've always heard repeat that standing them on end causes warpage. The first crew even recommends hanging it from the #1 and #4 journals. I lay mine flat on a block of wood that keeps the big end off the shelf… but I know the best place to store it is inside the block, oiled, with the bearings that were in it. There's merit to the "it's made out of forged steel" crew. If you're talking a couple of years storage, probably not an issue. If you're talking decades in a region with extreme temperature fluctuations, support it by the main journals or lay it flat on a block of wood.

      @andrewevans1658 Před 8 lety

      +Jafromobile You can store a crankshaft laying on its side If the the ends and center main journals are equally supported. Leaning a crankshaft against a wall it the worst thing to do, they will bend(.003-.015) under their own weight in only a week or two . The same thing will happen if it is laid on its side without support. The longer the crankshaft the easier this occurs. Sometimes you can get lucky if the counterweights are equallsized and spaced, they will also support it to a certain degree. A crankshaft is basically like a noodle that is constantly twisting and moving under stress. The base material affects this but they are all flexible to a certain degree. Hanging or standing is the best storage method but like you said inside a block/bearings is the best method. I wish he would have checked the used crank in this video for straightness , but since it still balanced 0-0 I would assume it is OK. Someday please place a used inline crankshaft in a crankshaft grinder and check the stroke and index of the rod journals and I assure you will be shocked at how the stroke and index will vary between the journals.

      +Heather Lee It depends on the hardness of your materials. Hardened steel will shine bright with *much* lower grits than aluminum ever will. Being an avid aluminum polisher, you can hear the surprise in my voice when he answered me with such a low number. I saw the belt, and the crank journals don't lie. I also noticed that I can take 304 stainless straight to black rouge and put a bling on it without sanding, but I can't do that with aluminum tubing without sanding it first to at least 400 grit. I'm convinced it has everything to do with the molecule density of the materials.

      +fockyoumang yes. Or, overloading, vibration, detonation, lopsided forces on the flywheel, too strong of a clutch, riding the clutch pedal, viscosity break down from poor maintenance, missing transmission bolts, old age, or oil or crankcase contamination as you mentioned... That could be metal shavings or water/coolant/sludge... but there's lots of things that can contribute to bering failure. Google "types of engine bearing damage", top link, and you'll find charts to see what the different kinds of failures look like.

    • @philldownes8685
      @philldownes8685 Před 3 lety

      No. the flywheel needs to be perfectly balanced on its own... that is a fact that the flywheel needs to be perfectly balanced, and this alone proves the flywheel does not have to be fitted to the crank, you balancing the crank not the flywheel..... when the crank is perfectly balanced it will make no difference whent eh perfectly balanced flywheel is attached......

    That is a nice looking 180 degree crankshaft, it's looking all race like, with those knife edges, hope it works, and I think it will, even if it takes a undersized bearings, on the mains. Unless I heard you wrongly ?

    What shop is this? And approximately how much was this job? I'm looking to get my sbc 383 crankshaft "refurbished".

    • @Jafromobile
      @Jafromobile  Před 7 lety

      It's Ballos Precision Machine. They're in Richmond, VA. They've completely remodeled and bought hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of newer and even more precision equipment since I filmed this. They've got a boring machine that will automate the bore and hone while it updates your facebook. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but if that's not local to you, I suggest you hit the yellow pages because shipping a crank for a 383 would be... both expensive AND terrifying unless it's shipped in and out strapped to a pallet by itself. The last thing I shipped like that was $305 freight. If you drop it off an pick it up somewhere I can't imagine you'd spend more than $80-$120 for what you saw done here. They didn't have to make any modifications to it, it was just a re-polish... but I'm happy I have a balance sheet for it now, and peace of mind that it passed the magnaflux. I just stood around for 15 minutes and filmed it. Any shop with a lathe, a belt sander and a good set of mics can do this work. The balance job on that 383 crank is a hell of a lot more complicated, though.

    Watched a machine build from scratch.. our maintenance and machine building crew where Yogoslav.. Hungarian and Slovak... Poland...Hungarian and Italian
    Lol they went to challage for certification... and failed because of translation... thought ok.. ask anyone of those teachers that give certs the opportunity to accomplish what there job duties on any given day.. lol fail.
    Hell they made a gang mill the cutter had 100 inserts... for cutting a bearing block into its segments... its all one cast..

    If you ever grind off material from a crank, I'd rather bead blast it afterwards, to relieve and create compressive stress, which won't lead to a crack. Bead-blasting is your friend!

    You can do that, but it's not going to grind the surface properly. The tape is going to flex around and follow the shape of the damaged out of spec surface. You NEED to use a grinding wheel that is dressed properly. The guy doesn't even know how to take proper measurements of the journals either.

    Jaffro, I just got my engine back and now i'm hearing about the crank balls, which contain dirt sealed around them which loosens up after the cleaning at the shop- only to release dirt which embeds itself in my new acl tri metal bearings. IT NEVER ENDS! Tell me this is none sense and that I can start my assembly.

    • @Jafromobile
      @Jafromobile  Před 8 lety

      +Jacob McCracken Lol! Spray some solvents in there and blow it out with compressed air. If it comes out clean, you'll be fine. If you're doing your own assembly, you're responsible for all that kind of stuff. The parts may come back clean, but you'll be cleaning all of them yourself prior to assembly. They clean them, but it's only so that you don't have to work as hard at it later. The only way to minimize foreign material during a build is to clean all parts yourself, immediately before installation. If you check for stuff like that before-hand, then there's less of a chance stuff like this slows you down during assembly. That's all. At least you learned it prior to assembly. ;) Most people, like myself, have better success learning from their mistakes.
