Crankshaft Regrinding
A worn or damaged crankshaft does not necessarily need to be replaced. At Universal Crankshaft, each crankshaft is first evaluated based on its condition and restoration potential.
Our shop reconditions and grinds crankshafts for a wide range of needs, from automotive to diesel and industrial applications.
Evaluate the part before deciding
Before starting work or replacing a component, it is important to understand its actual condition.
An initial evaluation may be possible using photos or a short video. This can help determine whether the part is worth transporting or examining further, especially if it is heavy or difficult to move.
Our team can then guide you based on the crankshaft's condition, the expected work and other engine components that need consideration.
More than crankshafts
An engine problem doesn't always stop at a single component.
Universal Crankshaft can also work on engine blocks, cylinder heads, camshafts, balancing, flywheels and clutches, as well as engine assembly, depending on your project's needs.
This capability helps coordinate multiple stages of a job in one shop rather than involving several providers.
Everything under one roof.
That's one of the main advantages of working with Universal Crankshaft: assessment, machining, grinding, certain parts and assembly can all be handled in one place, depending on the job.
Crankshaft reconditioning for different applications
Our shop serves automotive, performance and racing, diesel, trucking and heavy equipment, industrial equipment, tractors and agricultural equipment, marine applications and small engines.
Each request is evaluated according to the crankshaft, its condition and the work actually required.
Direct expertise
When a crankshaft shows wear or damage, the right decision starts with a knowledgeable evaluation.
Richard and his team can examine the crankshaft, visible damage and restoration options to help the customer determine the next step.
You'll speak directly with a team that knows engines and parts, rather than an automated process or an online store.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a damaged crankshaft always need replacing?
Not necessarily. The condition of the part and its restoration potential must first be assessed to determine whether regrinding is feasible.
Can an initial evaluation of a crankshaft be done from photos or a video?
Yes. A few photos or a short video of the crankshaft can help our team make an initial evaluation before you move or ship the part. A physical inspection may still be necessary to confirm its condition and the work required.
Have a crankshaft you'd like evaluated?
Before moving or shipping a crankshaft, send us the information you have.
You can also include a few photos or a short video of the crankshaft to help us make an initial evaluation.
