51.02101-0856 MAN ENGINE CRANKSHAFT

This thing takes the up and down motion of your pistons – from when the fuel ignites – and turns it into the rotating power that eventually gets to your wheels. It’s basically a rotating shaft with offset journals, and those journals are where the connecting rods from the pistons attach. It’s a pretty precisely made piece; everything needs to be balanced just right. It also has provisions for oil passages to keep things lubricated, and often a dampener pulley on the front to reduce vibrations. It’s a core component of your engine’s bottom end. Think of it as the backbone of the power delivery. Without a good crankshaft, nothing spins. It’s directly connected to your pistons, your connecting rods, your flywheel, and ultimately, your transmission. Everything relies on it being solid and rotating smoothly. Well, if this thing fails, your engine stops running, period. It's under a lot of stress with every combustion cycle. A worn or damaged crankshaft can cause all sorts of issues – knocking sounds, loss of power, rough idling, even catastrophic engine failure. You’ll notice if one is failing, usually with a pretty significant vibration or a deep knocking sound from the engine. It's one of those parts you really don't want to ignore if you start having problems. If you’re doing an engine rebuild, replacing the crankshaft is almost always a good idea, even if the old one seems okay. We’ve got a pretty good selection of crankshafts available over at Fixparts Online, if you’re looking. It’s something you want to get right the first time.
