Crankshaft

DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft is a forged steel, integrally balanced unit. It is supported by seven main bearings, with position number six designated as the thrust journal. The crankshaft is held in place by main caps and 12 mm capscrews. The crankshaft also has a two-piece tone wheel, which supplies crankshaft speed and position, mounted between the number five and six journals. Internal cross drillings supply the connecting rods with engine oil.
