Crankshaft: Description and Operation

CRANKSHAFT AND MAIN BEARINGS 
DESCRIPTION 

Thirty-degree offset crank pins on the crankshaft provide even, 120-degree, firing intervals for smooth operation. The crankshaft with these split pins
has ample strength without adding material between the pins, keeping the engine compact and reducing weight.

OPERATION 

The crankshaft transfers force generated by combustion within the cylinder to the flywheel or flexplate.
