How to Polish a Crankshaft at Home
Просмотров 86 тыс.2 года назад
Here I give some very basic and easy to follow advice on how to polish a crankshaft at home. If you are going to do a rebuild or a refresh on your engine, and your crank is still within spec, then this is a great way to save some money and time on your project. This tutorial is pulled out of our 350 engine revival series. #sbc #crankshaft #revival #diy #autorepair #chevy #enginerebuild #rebuild...

Air Bag Light Diagnosed w/o Scan Tool. 99 Toyota Avalon
Просмотров 8 тыс.3 года назад
Continuing on the State Inspection video from last week, I diagnose and fix the cause of the airbag light on our Avalon. Turns out to be a very small issue that didn't require any major "dealer only" repair. #inspection #stateinspection #autorepair #vehiclerepair #autoinspection #revive #revival #autorevival #virginia #airbag #airbaglight #clean

In this episode I go over the vehicle state inspection procedure for Virginia on this 99 Toyota Avalon. See why it fails. While this doesn't apply to all states it is a good reference to put anyone on the right path to a safe vehicle. #inspection #stateinspection #safetyinpsection #vehicleinspeciton #autorepair #vehiclerepair #autoinspection #revive #revival #autorevival #virginia You can see t...
P0137 Code Diagnosed w/Homemade Test Harness. 99 Silverado
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
I kept getting a persistent oxygen sensor code (P0137) and all of the diagnostics were inconclusive. Other mechanics and techs kept suggesting that I remove the sensors and switch them side to side to see if the problems jumps sides. Not a simple task when the only good sensor is an original and questionable itself plus sufficiently seized in the pipe. In this video I show the end of the diagno...
very nice, thanks; will be trying this out today
Great video! Easy to understand. Thanks
Oil pump failed on my car and its melted big end bearing onto the crank. Is it possible to polish it with this method? Thanks
What if i have no marks up front?
Nice job, thanks
No egg shapes?
How much did you take it down? My jornal is worn out about .013 under standard so down to .020 would do me right. I bet taking down .007 would be a long time.
You CANNOT resize your crank using this method ... it only shines the journal and achiever virtually nothing !!!
I’m about to do this on a small block ford. I was feeling pretty bummed when I pulled the caps (trying to avoid machine work) but I feel better now having watched you do it with good results 👍
I don't see why the direction you sand in matters your crankshaft should never touch anything but oil.if the crank eats the bearings you've got bigger problems than the way you polished it.
Do not use red shop rags for cleaning engine internals, they fall apart easily and the fibers will get stuck to parts even after washing then will start to collect on the oil pick up screen after running.
Good stuff, I just came across a 3970010 block myself and am looking for any info that will help me identify this engine.
I believe VGG used 400 and 800
airbag light will no longer fail a Va inspection.
I let the little woman do all the polishing around the house.
That's what I was wondering
Yup...been there done that several times. Good job
at what point should the necks of the cams be polished? if you can't see the marks with your eyes and fingers, does it go away?
I think the surface is uneven with this method unles using heavy enery paper for even pressure . Sorry mate.
Can someone help me I have a motor that's old. It should be a 307 or 350 I can't tell. I have numbers but they mean nothing to me. I think it's from 1955
Hey I’m having the exact same problem but my airbag light is only flashing once then repeats and does it again. What code do I have? It’s been driving me nuts
❤
Not sure about getting metal polish into the lube oil orifices. I would definitely flush those oil passages when you are done
Why don't you just buy a Polish-made crankshaft ?
Why dont you just go lay down somewhere😅
Yeah lay down on his mom
Will this work on the journals on a camshaft? What 800 grit wet or dry sandpaper?
Yes and use oil or something
Thanck youvery much
Nice. I have a v6 3.3L VG33E Nissan motor with a worn crank and it started causing knock about 160,000 miles. Bearing material confirmed in oil. I have had the motor removed and a used one put in. I want to remove the crank from the motor that's sitting in a tire, with the crank exposed and facing upward. I want to hand sand the crank and reinstall. Do you have or know of any basic guidance to do this? I've never done this before. Thanks.
That will probably need measuring and checking be lucky if u get away with just polishing the crank also the rod housing will need checking for ovality as its been knocking
If you use shoe lace you need to move it side to side and not stay in one spot.
And 327s
Nice video brother.
Question I gotten a new crankshaft for my SBC 350. An it turns good but when I tighten my rods . I can't turn it wtf am I doing wrong
Dealing with this problem currently
In 1973 and 1974 GM lowered the horsepower rating by limiting the throttle opening on small blocks.
Yes all manufacturers had to start lowering the HP numbers and raising fuel mileage in the early 70s. The carbs had a small lever attached to the choke levers that limited throttle opening. It’s was a cheap easy way to make the government and insurance companies happy. If you come across a Q jet carb on an original small block from 73 or 74 you will see that wide open throttle is not wide open. Other manufacturers retarded the cam shaft in those day almost to the mid eighties. 351M ford engines were dogs with no power unless you updated the camshaft. It wasn’t just GM killing hp.
Thank you! I would say slow and steady. And why is everyone afraid of brake cleaner and compressed air to clean oil passages after the fact? Practice on a bad crank first. Proper mics before and after.
Great video! The only thing I wanted to add was to make sure whatever string you use covers the entire journal. If it’s only covering half of the journal, all of the pressure you’re applying is not being evenly distributed and can cause uneven polishing.
It can be tricky maybe its all about the person doing the job to make sure to not apply too much pulling force on both ends of the shoe laze at the same time, only on one side to make it spin that way and let the sandpaper do the work. With the polish rag just move it deliberately just like when honing a cylinder to make sure to cover the whole area.
Man that’s cool I’ve learned something today
This way worked great! Weirdly though, my wife hollered to me what the hell I was doing. She sounded mad. ☺️
If you wanted too, could you polish a bad main journal down ten thou? Or is that something only a crank grind could accomplish? Asking for a really cheap friend...
I would not recomend that. with the sandpaper in that grit he may take his crank down .0001" or maybe slightly more and you see him only do one journal. You are talking about taking of .010" or 100 times as much material so you can do the math on the time involved. The other reason is your journal will never be flat enough when removing material by hand to lubricate properly as well as the radius in the corner of the journal is ground on purpose and are a huge contributing factor to the strength of your crank. If you sand it and put a sharp corner there you wil break a crank much easier.
I pretty much do same, except i put ear plugs in oil holes.
Proper method is to mic it before to make sure the journals are on size, but he didn't have to do the extreme! A fine grit scotch bright pad (only enough to take the varnish off the middle of the journal and close to the radius but before you do that clean the oil passages and then polish..
wouldve liked to see how you cleaned the inside of the crankshaft after all your nice polishing work.
Did you have any sign of bearings marking up the journals
327's too.
Can't see the number
I am a DIYer🙈 and I was so curious what to do with my crankshaft on my BMW N54 engine. I'm definitely gonna try you technique. Thank you for gr8 clip👌👍
The polishing is good, but after polishing will it still meet spec? Did you measure the diameter?
I think if your crank ok. Just clean & polish. No need for sanding. I will try that on my engine soon
He did say if your crank checks out...and with the grit he's using ( used to final wet sand paint) , he would have to stroke it for a loooong while
Derek is the best.
I did this with a compressor crank that locked up - still works fine several years later.
How can I tell how much horsepower my 350 has ?
DYNO.
Thank god I live in Florida. No inspections!!!
