How long are crankshafts guaranteed to be remanufactured?
Remanufactured crankshafts are thoroughly cleaned with special emphasis to flushing and brushing out oil passages to remove any contaminants. Our crankshafts are guaranteed for 1 year under our warranty. Our crankshaft department is meticulous when it comes to every detail of the remanufacturing process.
How much torque can a stock crankshaft handle?
Stock crankshafts are engineered to handle typical loads generated by a stock engine, say 250 to 350 hp in a small block V8, or up to 400 hp in a big block V8 with a redline of 5,000 to 5,500 rpm. But there is a limit on how much additional torque and rpms a stock crank can safely withstand if the engine is modified.
What’s the twelfth step in a crankshaft rebuild?
The twelfth step is to relieve stress upon the entire rebuilt crankshaft structure by heating it up again to 500-600 degrees. Next step is to check for overall straightness of the reman crankshaft once again. If the reman crankshaft is out of alignment then we repeat step 7 and restraighten the structure.
How is a remanufactured crankshaft checked for cracks?
The second step in the industrial crankshaft remanufacturing process is using a magnaflux method to check for cracks. The industrial crankshaft is maganitized and sprayed with a magnaflux powder which, under blacklight conditions, makes any cracks or imperfections visible. All reman crankshafts are magnafluxed for imperfections, no exceptions!

What’s the hardness rating for a remanufactured crankshaft?
A 45-50 rating is what we try to employ for all of our remanufactured crankshafts as we like to go beyond industry standards. Typically, hardness can be reduced if the engine is out of oil or the journal is spun incorrectly. Quality control inspects all of the finished reman crankshafts for internal and external mistakes.
