Crankshafts that have been reground for marine engines are approved by some marine certification societies
and by some insurance companies. Contact the insurance company or a representative from the marine
certification society for acceptability of crankshafts that have been reground.
A crankshaft can be expected to give normal performance until the next rebuild if the crankshaft is ground and
polished according to this guideline, and if the crankshaft meets the criteria within the following documents:
Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8043, "Visual Inpsection of Crankshafts"
Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8156, "Procedure to Inspect Crankshafts in Series 3500 Family of
Engines"
Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8039, "Inspection of Crankshafts for Cracks"
Never install a crankshaft that fails the specifications in this guideline. During reconditioning, correct any
conditions that might have caused the original failure.

Note: Record your measurements on the form for inspecting crankshafts. Refer to Special Instruction,
SEHS7949, "Crankshaft Inspection Form" when a crankshaft is inspected or ground. The form for inspecting
crankshafts comes in pads of 50. Caterpillar recommends measuring the journal in three different places in
order to check for journals that are out of round.
1. Clean the crankshaft in a continuously filtered solvent. The crankshaft must be clean enough to meet the
ISO 16/13 specifications for cleanliness.
2. Place the crankshaft in two 5P-8637 Crankshaft Support Group .
3. Inspect the crankshaft for any signs of damage that cannot be repaired by reconditioning. Refer to Reuse
and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8043, "Visual Inspection of Crankshafts" and Reuse and Salvage
Guideline, SEBF8156, "Procedure to Inspect Crankshafts in Series 3500 Family of Engines" for
examples.
4. Check the hardness of the journal. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8041, "Specifications for
Crankshafts in Caterpillar Engines". The 6V-6035 Hardness Tester is an efficient method that is used in
order to check the hardness of the journal. If a soft area is found then check the hardness of the
surrounding area. The soft area may be limited to a small area on the surface of the journal. However,
the soft spot may extend into the journal. For these reasons, lightly grind the soft spot of the journal. If
the hardness is below 30 on the Rockwell C (Rc) scale, then there will be little improvement or no
improvement in the degree of hardness after the journal is completely ground. The hardness reading may
not be correct if there is aluminum bearing material on the journal.
5. Inspect and measure the crankshaft according to Special Instruction, SEHS7949, "Crankshaft Inspection
Form". Complete the entire form and keep the form with the crankshaft during the process of
reconditioning.
6. If the centers will be used to grind the crankshaft, inspect the centers. Verify that the centers are clean.
Verify that the centers are free of any nicks or burrs. The centers may need to be polished.
7. Inspect the crankshaft for any bend. A slight amount of bend can be removed from the crankshaft by
grinding the journals undersize. If the main journals are bent less than 0.127 mm (0.0050 inch), then the
journals can be cleaned up by grinding the journal undersize by 0.25 mm (0.010 inch). If the main
journals are bent less than 0.25 mm (0.010 inch), then the journals can be cleaned up by grinding the
journal undersize by 0.51 mm (0.020 inch).
Note: Make an attempt to straighten a crankshaft before starting the grinding process. If you grind a
crankshaft that has been bent, you will change the stroke of the crankshaft. If the stroke of the crankshaft
has been changed, the process of combustion will be altered. For more information on straightening a
crankshaft, refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8054, "Procedure to Measure and Straighten
Bent Crankshafts".
Equipment
Prepare the equipment for grinding according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Many machines for
grinding are available. Each model has specific controls and procedures that must be followed in order to get
acceptable results.
Selecting the correct size of grinding machine is important. Verify that the machine for grinding has the
necessary capacity for the crankshaft that is being ground. In order to grind the longest Caterpillar crankshaft,
the machine for grinding must have a minimum measurement of 2591 mm (102.0 inch) between centers. If you
are grinding all Caterpillar crankshafts, you will need a machine to grind 3600 series of crankshafts.
The following table lists the approximate lengths of the larger Caterpillar crankshafts.

Grinding Wheels
Check with the manufacturer of the grinding wheel in order to verify that the grinding wheel is of the correct
size, grade, and grit for the job. Caterpillar recommends using an aluminum oxide grinding wheel since
Caterpillar crankshafts are made from steel forgings that have been heat treated. Caterpillar approves grinding
wheels made of aluminum oxide, ceramic, and SolGel. Caterpillar also approves grinding wheels made of
CBN.
Determine the grinding wheel from the width of the crankshaft journal. The widths of the different journals are
found in Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8041, "Specifications for Crankshafts in Caterpillar Engines".
Use a grinding wheel with the capacity to grind a complete journal at one time. Use a wheel that is a little
wider than the bearing width, so that the journal is ground with one plunge. A grinding wheel that has the
capability of grinding the complete journal with one plunge will provide a better profile of the journal. A better
profile of the journal will increase the life of the bearings.
Procedure to Inspect the Grinding Wheel
Inspect the grinding wheel for cracks before mounting on the grinder. In order to inspect the grinding wheel
for cracks, hang the grinding wheel from a hook so all of the sides of the grinding wheel can be easily seen.
Tap the wheel lightly with a nonmetallic object such as the handle of a hammer or the handle of a screwdriver.
Tap the grinding wheel lightly in several locations that are a few inches from the perimeter. A grinding wheel
that has no defects will give a distinct ring sound. A grinding wheel that has defects will give the sound of a
dull thump when it is tapped.
Never use a grinding wheel that has any type of defect. Do not use a grinding wheel that gives the sound of a
dull thump.
Verify that the grinding wheel has been balanced. The supplier of the grinding wheel can provide you with
more information about mounting and tightening the grinding wheel. The supplier of the grinding wheel will
provide you with more details about balancing the grinding wheel.
Procedure to Dress the Grinding Wheel
Note: Always run coolant during the process of dressing the grinding wheel. If coolant is not used then the
diamond will heat up rapidly. Coolant flow in Illustration 4 is shut off for photographic purposes.
Keep the grinding wheel dressed so the perimeter is flat and blends into the fillet smoothly. If the grinding
wheel is not dressed properly, the grinding wheel may grind a step into the fillet on the crankshaft journal. Any
step that is left on the crankshaft journal will cause a stress riser in the crankshaft.
A very small dip is permissible on the crankshaft at the junction of the fillet and bearing journal surface. The
area may have a different surface finish that is caused by a grinding wheel that has broken down faster. This
rough area is acceptable only in the bottom twenty percent of the fillet. There must not be any rough edges.
While you are dressing the grinding wheel, consider the following factors.
Sharp diamond
RPM
Feed rate of the diamond
Depth of cut
A sharp diamond is necessary for all types of dressing applications. Keep the rpm of the grinding wheel
consistent during dressing and grinding. See the manufacturer's recommendations for the type of grinding
wheel that is used.
The type of grinding determines the feed rate that the diamond dresses the grinding wheel. If heavy stock
needs to be removed then move the diamond across the grinding wheel faster. Dressing the grinding wheel fast
will give the grinding wheel a rougher finish. The rough finish will cause the grinding wheel to load up at a
slower rate.
Move the diamond across the grinding wheel at a slower rate when you are making the final pass in order to
make a smooth surface finish. The smooth surface finish makes long term grinding difficult because the
grinding wheel will load up too fast. Marks from chatter and burning will result on the crankshaft from a
loaded grinding wheel.
The depth of the cut will also be a factor when the surface finish of the wheel is being determined. The depth
of approximately 0.127 mm (0.0050 inch) is recommended when a rough surface finish is necessary. The
depth of approximately 0.025 mm (0.0010 inch) is recommended when finish grinding is necessary.
The side of the grinding wheel must be dressed periodically. Make sure that the radius is blended smoothly.
Coolant
The type and the quantity of the coolant that is used is crucial to the grinding process. Some key features of the
coolant are listed below:
Daily skimming of sludge and oil
Daily inspection of the concentration
Periodic replacement of the coolant
Proper flow of coolant across the crankshaft and grinding wheel and steady rest
Whenever the grinding wheel is in contact with the diamond or the crankshaft, a constant flow of coolant must
be supplied.
The coolant has many functions. The coolant keeps the diamond or the crankshaft and the grinding wheel from
becoming overheated. The coolant also carries away the steel that is being ground off of the crankshaft. The
coolant also carries away the part of the grinding wheel that is breaking down.
Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer for the proper type of coolant and the proper concentration.
Measuring Instruments
Caterpillar recommends having an instrument for measuring that constantly monitors the size of the
crankshaft.
The next choice for measuring the diameters of the journals is using a snap gauge and gauge blocks. The use of
a snap gauge is an efficient method of measuring the diameters of the journals. A snap gauge is better than a
micrometer because the percent for human error has been reduced.
The final choice for measuring the diameters of the journals is using a micrometer. The micrometer must be
calibrated correctly by using the gauge that generally comes with the micrometer. The same feel that is used to
calibrate the micrometer to the gauge should be used to measure the crankshaft. Each person that uses the
micrometer may have a different feel. Each person may not achieve the same reading.
Note: Any instrument that is used to measure the diameters of the journals should be kept at the same
temperature as the crankshaft. The tools and the crankshaft will stay the same temperature in a climate
controlled room. The gauge blocks must be the same temperature as the crankshaft in order to have an accurate
reading.
A surface finish analyzer is necessary to check the surface finish of the journals. For the proper specifications
on the surface finish that is required after polishing, refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8041,
"Specifications for Crankshafts in Caterpillar Engines".
Gauge blocks should be used to calibrate all of your instruments for measuring.
Use a 6V-6035 Hardness Tester in order to check the hardness of the crankshaft journals.
A dial indicator should be used to check for total indicator runout (TIR). Check the crankshaft before any
grinding is started. If the crankshaft has any TIR, determine the cause of the TIR. The cause could be any of
the following reasons:
Incorrect clamping in the chuck
Debris in the centers
Bent crankshaft

Procedure to Grind the Crankshaft

If your machine has been idle for more than four hours, follow the recommended warm up procedure. If your
grinding wheel has been changed, follow the recommended warm up procedure.
Before starting the grinding process, you should verify that the machine is properly warmed up. The spindle
for the grinding wheel should be allowed to run for at least fifteen minutes before dressing the grinding wheel.
This will ensure that the bearings are warmed up. The grinding wheel needs to be dressed at least five times for
the first run in order to ensure that the grinding wheel is completely cleaned up. If steady rests are going to be
used, you should allow the steady rest to cycle at least 10 times to ensure proper set up. The coolant should be
flowing during setup.
Only properly trained personnel should be allowed to grind Caterpillar crankshafts. Grinding a crankshaft
requires great accuracy. Personnel should be properly trained in the following areas before grinding a
crankshaft:
Applied Failure Analysis
Proper use of measuring tools, inspection tools, and gauges
Proper use of the grinder
Troubleshooting procedures
The majority of the failures that occur after grinding the crankshaft are due to improper procedures or
improper inspection procedures.
Stop the grinding process if the grinding wheel starts to chatter and if the grinding wheel starts to burn the
crankshaft. Determine the cause of the defect before continuing to grind.
1. Look at Special Instruction, SEHS7949, "Crankshaft Inspection Form" in order to verify that all of the
inspections have been made. Check each journal for damage in order to determine if the procedure can
continue. If there is a journal that has damage that is questionable, grind that journal first.
2. Gather all of the necessary tooling that will be required to measure the critical dimensions on the
crankshaft. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8041, "Specifications for Crankshafts in
Caterpillar Engines" for the specifications for your crankshaft.
3. Verify that the correct grinding wheel is mounted on the grinder properly. Verify that the diameter of the
grinding wheel is large enough so that the sidewalls of the crankshaft will not make contact with any
part of the grinder. Verify that the grinding wheel has been balanced. Verify that the grinding wheel has
been dressed properly. Dress the grinding wheel before you ever start to grind a crankshaft.
4. Verify that the counterweights (if equipped) have been removed. Load the crankshaft into the grinder.
The rotation of the crankshaft should be opposite of the direction that the crankshaft would rotate
if it were inside the engine. Secure the crankshaft to the grinder according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Note: If your crankshaft is mounted with a chuck, verify that the jaws of the chuck are free of dirt,
debris, etc. If your crankshaft is mounted with the centers, verify that the centers are free from dirt,
debris, etc.
5. Check the total indicator runout (TIR) on each of the journals of the crankshaft. Make the proper
adjustments in order to eliminate the TIR. Some crankshafts are heavy enough that a steady rest will be
necessary in order to remove the TIR.
6. For the best results, use a grinding wheel that is wider than the journal. If the grinding wheel is narrower
than the journal, you must traverse the grinding wheel across the journal surface in order to properly
clean up the entire journal.
Note: On 3412 crankshafts, it is acceptable to grind the journals using a double plunge process.
7. Move the grinding wheel toward the crankshaft until contact is made. Remove the least amount of
material from two journals that are farthest from each other so that you can verify that you are not
grinding a taper into the crankshaft journal. Allow the grinding wheel to spark out on the crankshaft
journal before taking any measurements. By allowing the grinding wheel to spark out, you will eliminate
the pressure from the tool.
Note: Use a dial indicator in order to check for the out of round specifications. Out of round can be
caused by excessive tool pressure, lack of a steady rest, or an improper set up.
8. Once you have verified that there is not any taper, grind the journal to approximately 0.025 mm (0.0010
inch) to 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) larger than the finished size. Allow the grinding wheel spark out on the
journal.
Note: The size of the journal may vary each time you measure the journal if you do not allow the grinder
to spark out each time.
9. Dress the grinding wheel in order to achieve the best possible surface finish. Dress the grinding wheel so
that you can no longer see any of the steel particles embedded within the grinding wheel. The final dress
of the grinding wheel should consist of a slow feed rate with a shallow depth of cut.
Note: The size of the journal will determine the type of the final dress that is required. Consider 2
crankshafts with 0.025 mm (0.0010 inch) material that is left and the same width of the journal. The
journal with the larger diameter will load up a grinding wheel faster than a journal with a smaller
diameter. The grinding wheel will begin to chatter and it will burn the crankshaft after loading up with
steel particles.
10. Complete the above procedure for the remainder of the journals. For more information about the
undersize bearings that are available for your engine, refer to either Reuse and Salvage Guideline,
SEBF8041, "Specifications for Crankshafts in Caterpillar Engines" or the Parts Manual for your engine.

3412 crankshafts can be ground by using the double plunge method. Each half of a given rod will be ground
independently. This allows the use of a narrower grinding wheel which is more commonly available. The
double plunge method will result in a ground step in the center of the rod journal. The ground step may not
exceed the zone that is described in Illustration 9.
The dimensions of the step cannot exceed a maximum height of 0.0177 mm (0.0007 inch). The dimensions of
the step cannot exceed a maximum width of 0.89 mm (0.035 inch). Refer to Illustration 10.
Procedure to Shot Peen the Fillet
The fillets of the crankshaft must be shot peened in order to increase the fatigue life of the crankshaft. Shot
peening the crankshaft is a very important part of the salvage operation. If shot peening is not performed after
the grinding operation, the crankshaft will have a high percent chance for failure.
The process of shot peening should be completed after the grinding, but before the polishing. This should be
done in order to retain the affects of the shot peening.
The journals and the sidewalls must be protected from the shot peen.
Note: The journals must be properly protected during the process of shot peening. If polishing is performed
after shot peening, the shot peened area must be inspected. The polish can not extend more than 15 degrees
into the fillet.
Cast steel shot shall be used for all peening. The hardness of the shot should be equivalent to C42-50.
Deburring the Oil Hole

Generally, the oil hole does not need to be polished unless the crankshaft has been ground undersize. If the oil
hole has sharp edges, remove any burrs and polish the crankshaft.
Cartridge Roll and Mandrel
Procedure to Polish the Crankshaft
Polish the crankshaft in the opposite direction that it was ground. The crankshaft should rotate in the
same direction that the engine will operate.
Polishing the crankshaft should not remove a substantial amount of material. Polishing the crankshaft should
only change the surface finish. The machine operator must be properly trained in order to polish a crankshaft.
Polishing can change the size and the profile of the crankshaft if the proper technique is not applied.
The quality of the finish on the crankshaft will directly affect the amount of wear that a bearing will have. A
good surface finish will prolong the life of the bearings. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8041,
"Specifications for Crankshafts in Caterpillar Engines" for the specifications of the surface finish for your
crankshaft.
Caterpillar recommends using a mounted polisher rather than a hand held polisher. The surface finish that can
be achieved with a mounted polisher is much greater than the surface finish that comes from a hand held
polisher.
Do not use a hand held polisher to polish crankshafts. A hand held polisher will destroy the form of the
crankshaft. Use an automated polisher with shoes that follow the geometry of the journal.
Inspection and Measurement

After the crankshaft has been ground and polished, make a complete inspection and check all the dimensions.
Record all measurements on the Special Instruction, SEHS7949, "Crankshaft Inspection Form". This form is
shown in Illustration 1.
Check the hardness of all ground journals according to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8041,
"Specifications for Crankshafts in Caterpillar Engines". Check the dimensions of the radii before starting any
shot peening. The crankshaft must meet all specifications.
Inspect the crankshaft by using the magnetic particle inspection. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline,
SEBF8039, "Inspection of Crankshafts for Cracks". Grind the crankshaft to the next possible undersize
dimension if any dimension is not acceptable or cracks are found.
Procedure to Clean the Crankshaft

A ground crankshaft must be thoroughly cleaned before shipment. Use an air hose to remove coolant, sludge,
steel shot, and metal particles from the oil passages. Use a 6V-3182 Brush or a 6V-7067 Brush in order to
clean the oil passages. Use the brushes from the rod and the main ends of the journal. The brushes must also be
used from the hole for lightening the crankshaft and the plug end. Flush the oil passages with solvent in order
to make sure that there is no debris. Use an inspection light and a magnet to check each hole.
Storage Procedure
Proper protection of the crankshaft from corrosion is very important. Corrosion will start in as little as one
hour after the crankshaft has been cleaned.
When the crankshaft will not be inspected for one hour or less the crankshaft should be coated with a rust or
corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil. The crankshaft should be individually wrapped in order to
prevent contamination, and the crankshaft should be stored in a protected area in order to avoid damage. See
Illustration 13.
When the crankshaft will not be inspected in two days or more the crankshaft should be coated with a rust or
corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil and the crankshaft should be individually wrapped. The
wrapped crankshaft should be placed in a container which is clean and structurally solid. The container should
be covered or wrapped in plastic in order to prevent damage and contamination to the camshaft. See
Illustration 14.
See Table 3 for recommended rust inhibitors.
