the crankshaft harnesses the tremendous force produced by the downward thrust of the pistons.it changes the up and down motion of the pistons into a rotating motion.

ok icic thank you fluffy ..... got a lil idea oledi .... hehe sorry ar ..... kacau your thread ..... but ask one more thing can ar ? what is crank chaft made of .... can rotten one maer ?

 

[Fluffy]

no la..not rotten..maybe worn out.sure it can wear out..any component in ur engine that has motion will wear out sooner or later.

normally crankshaft wont spoit unless u mod your car kau kau like VTEC which is very prone...cause power created is too high!!!the common problem is only the bearing kong or jammed...so just change bearing...

do u happen to know how much one set (if they go by set) cost? any mechanic can fixed one is it? other additional cost to fixed it? other than change the gasket?
