Crankshaft assembly

The crankshaft is a forging and has ground journals, which are surface-treated by induction hardening. This produces a hard surface finish which is highly resistant to wear. There are five main bearings, with the middle one also serving to locate the crankshaft axially. Oil ways are drilled in the crankshaft for lubrication. All main bearing shells are replaceable.
