Camshaft & Crankshaft Grinding Department

Like all other cast iron parts in the engine, the crank and camshaft are cleaned in our oven system. The camshafts are checked for bad lobes and scraped as necessary. The good cores are reground back to factory specifications, and parkerized to help during the new lifter break in period. The crankshafts are all checked for straightness prior to grinding, and the oil holes are chamfered. The crank journals are then ground to a precise underside and micropolished. A check with the profilometer ensures us a smooth finish.
