Crankshaft Repair:
GRINDING AND BALANCING
After chrome plating, each surface is individually
ground to bring it into precise conformity with
written specifications and O.E.M. standards. Coastal
Plating machinery- much of it imported from Italy-
permits the bearing surfaces and journals to be
ground to a tolerance of .0002 of an inch.After
grinding, a final Magnaflux examination is performed
to insure no flaws exist in any portion of their
crankshaft. The shaft is then dynamically balanced
so it will run smoothly without vibration or
pounding at ALL operating speeds. Also post grinding,
the chrome plated
surfaces are lapped and polished to make certain all
journals, pulley and gear fits and bolt holes are
perfect and meet factory standards. A final
inspection is made and the written report is
personally checked by Coastal Plating Management.
When the crankshaft repair passes final
inspection it is immediately painted with a
rust-proof treatment for protection in transit or
storage, and prepared for shipment back to your job
site. Coastal Plating realizes how vital it is to
have your crankshaft repaired right the first time,
so you may re-assemble your engine and get going
again. For this reason no craftsman, no machine
operator, no supervisor will permit the restoration
process to continue until each stage of workmanship
is PERFECT. |
