When you said you were going to use a chisel on the crank, I thought for sure you'd be striking a counterweight and not the rod journal. Amazing process.
@@LakelandAutoMarine I read a article from caterpillar ,they say you should heat the crank to about 100 to 200graden Celsius before making it straight?
This video was a life-saver. I was able to straighten my crank today!!

this is great. would love to see one on cold straightening a propshaft. we normally send them
out but would be better to be able to do in house.
Very interesting, my learning moment for the day.
Great video, thank-you for demonstrating. Why do you only hit it on the left hand side of centre?
Would 3 thousandths TIR cause binding on main bearings. Clearances seen ok
Probably not. .003 bent isn’t huge. Maybe the main bores themselves are too tight or not in alignment?
Nice job ,why do you not use hydraulic press?
Peening stress relieves it. If you use a press it will spring right back like you never hit it.
@@LakelandAutoMarine also I have seen that the push the shift and tapping it then?
Where he hits it down, he's making it come up.
How much do you charge to straighten a crank.
Depends on how bad it is and how far out it is. It’s time and materials.
Also don t you heat the shaft
Nope.
