Crankshaft Polishing | Tech Lab Tuesday

In part 2 of our Crankshaft Polishing Series, Dave Monyhan takes you through the steps of prepping your crankshaft for the polishing process, then puts the polisher to work. There's lots to learn so sit back and enjoy. Closed Captioned.

I immediately question the ability to weld a crankshaft because of the molecular/ mechanical changing of the metalurgy from the original billet condition(s). Please reply someone? Now mind you over-think because of afraid as a made poor boy and getting only a half of a chance to do anything correct starting from terrible conditions.

Benny, crankshaft welding has been done for many, many years. Just not in the since you may be thinking as we would not use a Tig/ Mig or stick welder to perform this repair. A submerged arc welding machine is the process which can reliaably weld crankshafts from chevy's and fords to the big catipillers or other big diesels. I suggest you contact Gleason Engineering at www.gleasonengineering.com. Jeff the owner knows this process inside and out. I am sure you could also search right here at U-Tube and watch a video showing this entire process.
