1 Answers
Crankshaft can be repaired. Repairing a crankshaft: The repair of a crankshaft is quite challenging due to the complex process involved, high precision requirements, and the considerable expense. From both an economic and technical standpoint, it is generally not cost-effective. Enterprises capable of repairing crankshafts: Currently, the majority of vehicle models do not offer oversized repair bearing shells, and finding matching components after crankshaft regrinding is difficult. Another critical point is that there are fewer and fewer enterprises with the capability to repair crankshafts. In many provinces, only the capital cities have such processing facilities. The hassle of traveling long distances multiple times to repair a single crankshaft simply isn't worth it. Special engines: Nowadays, only some extremely specialized engines, whose parts are hard to procure or have very long lead times, justify the high cost of crankshaft repair. In most cases, it's more practical to simply scrap the crankshaft.
