Crankshaft: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft (7) is constructed of a forged micro alloy steel. The six throw, nine counterweight crankshaft is supported by four select fit main bearings
with the number three serving as the thrust washer location. The select fit identification markings will be on the rear side of the number nine (rearmost)
counterweight. The six separate connecting rod throws are an even-firing design which reduces torque fluctuations while a vibration damper is used to
control torsional vibration.
The crankshaft oil seals are a one piece design. The front seal is retained by the timing chain cover, and the rear seal is part of a housing that attaches to
the cylinder block.
