Triumph 500 and 650/750 crankshafts are balanced to 50% unless another balance factor is specified by customer. The higher the RPM range where a desired smoothness is required the lower the balance factor number. A racing engine may use a balance factor of 45% for best smoothness above 5000 rpm. If best smoothness is required above 6000 rpm ...

The crankshaft diameter, with counterweights, is about 3/8" smaller then a stock crankshaft to clear any high-lift camshafts and reduce the rotational weight of the crankshaft. Our Triumph 6T, TR6, T120 crankshafts are usually 4.5 pounds lighter than a stock crankshaft. This crankshaft costs $1200 USD.

The main reason crankshaft grinding is done is because the crank wears over time. Over thousands of miles the end play between the crankshaft and the bearings increases. When the "fit" between the bearings and the crank is not perfect it lowers oil pressure and decreases lubricity. The less oil to the crank the faster it can wear out.

Reworking the crankshaft can take the form of weld-ing and then regrinding journals to "standard," or more commonly, ground under size. Under size bearings are widely available in minus 0.010", 0.020", 0.030" and 0.040" sizes. When regrinding the crankshaft it is important to du-plicate the 7/64" radius at each end of the journal ...

When regrinding the crankshaft it is important to du- plicate the 7/64" radius at each end of the journal. Fail- ing to duplicate the original radius will greatly increase the chances of crankshaft failure. The factory specification for the 650 and 750 twin rod journal diameter is 1.6235" to 1.624." There is good value in used micrometers.

using my haynes tr5 manual it shows the crankshaft main bearing diameters as 58.699 - 58.712mm and a crankpin dia as being 47.625 - 47.638mm, however a clearance of 1.5 thou (0.038mm) for the journal to bearing clearance, a "running" clearance is ok in my book, and so the crank journals should be measured and compared against the conrod big end …

May 03, 2018· Crankshafts – How can I make my crankshaft more durable? Unless you are very lucky, your 216/235/261 crankshaft will need regrinding and straightening. GM allowed a .030″ undersize, which means that at least some of the hardening exists at this depth but, even at full diameter, these shafts are not particularly hard.

Light grey cranks were subjected to ion nitriding, a process that uses microwaves for heat generation. In all cases a nitrided crankshaft will "grow" about .0005″ on the journal diameters and go out of round by an insignificant .0002″. The machinist normally grinds the crank .005″ under to allow for the swell and lets the out of round go.

Crankshaft 7 has a plurality of main journals 3 and crankpins 9 connected by crankcheeks 6. Each crankshaft main bearing may be chamfered at both ends as shown at 11, FIG. 1, so that while the central portion of journal 8 may become worn or damaged in service, the narrow ring areas adjacent crankcheeks 6 ordinarily remain true and undamaged.

A 90 degree V8 car engine (or any 90 degree V engine) would have least crank stress with 50% balance factor, and that's what's normally used on those engines. A Triumph 650/750 twin engine would have least crank stress with a balance factor of 64%-65% dry (no oil or sludge in the sludge trap). The weight of oil in a running engine reduces the ...

Depending on design, your crankshaft may be fitted with oil gallery blanking plugs close to each of the crank pins. These should always be removed and all the gunk behind them cleaned out especially if the crank has been re-ground. Be warned though they are usually very tight and we normally have to machine them out.

According to him, regrinding an end mill or similar cutting tool takes an average of five to six minutes. "At 10 tools per hour, most shops are making back their investment if they are grinding at least three hours a day. If this is not your main …

Joined Mar 19, 2009. 2,035 Posts. #8 · Dec 5, 2011 (Edited) There is definately a sludge trap in there, you just have to split the crank to get to it. It is in the timing side of the crank (far right bit), it is better to remove it to clean the trap and tube. Cheers, Dan.

Regrinding the crankshaft is an important part of the engine rebuilding process. It was almost an art in the '40s, but it's pretty routine now. However, there are still plenty of myths and misunderstandings that are left over from the past that we still have to deal with today.

Roger, as regards the crank running in softer bearings they certainly all used to be when white metal, however the newer bearing manufacture is often an alloy and harder leading to not such sympathetic treatment to journal surfaces, so a hardened crankshaft is not such a luxury.

Jul 14, 2020. #1. There is a bit of a flap going on over on the Thatcher forum at groups.io. There have now been three crankshaft failures in the last few weeks in CX4's. There was also one about a year ago. The first one is the broken crank in California that resulted in the loss of the airplane that was discussed in the "Crashes" thread.
