How do you fit a Ford Focus cam belt?
beware , there is no keyway on the crankshaft , the pulley is only friction fit on the taper , so the propper tools are needed . hth
Is there an alternative way to taking a crankshaft out of an engine besides taking out the engine?
You could take the crankshaft out of the engine with the engine still in the car, but it would be a lot more work, and make it much more difficult to keep the bearing surfaces clean. Also, the transmission would still have to be disconnected from the engine so you could gain access to the back of the crankshaft. While it CAN be done, it's not generally accepted practice. It's conceivable that you could disconnect the torque converter (assuming it's an automatic transmission), remove the rod bearing caps, taking care to keep them with the same rod bearing and also keeping them oriented to go back on the same way they came off. Then pull the dampener pulley from the front of the crankshaft. Then remove the front timing chain cover and pull the timing chain, then you can theoretically pull the main bearing caps (again, keep them oriented right to left and keep each cap in the same position) and drop the crankshaft. The problem is, this doesn't allow you to check the cylinders for taper or to check the rod bearings for out of round. If your engine has enough of a problem that you need to drop the crankshaft, you should probably inspect other parts too.
What is the purpose of measuring taper angle of a taper plug gauge?
The purpose of measuring taper angle is to obtain taper angle
What is another name for a candlemaker?
They might also be called a taper maker.
Formula for calculating taper?
This is the formula for calculating a taper: Large diameter of the taper minus the small Diameter of the taper divided by the length of of the taper will give you the taper per inch. You will also need to know the included angle of the taper if you ar cutting this taper. This formula would be Tangent of the included angle divide by 2.
How do you install a crankshaft in a 400 cu in Pontiac trans am engine?
Completely disassemble the engine, thoroughly clean the block and all components. If the cylinders show signs of wear (ANY measurable taper) bore the cylinders and replace the pistons. Recondition the rods! If the crankshaft has been damaged ALL OF the rods must be either replaced or reconditioned. Replace all of the rod and main bearings. Inspect the camshaft and lifters for damage or wear and replace if necessary. The prudent mechanic replaces ALL even if only one shows signs of wear. Also, the prudent mechanic always reconditions the head every time the engine is apart. Reassemble the engine using new gaskets, oil pump and timing chain/gear as necessary. Never plan on an engine teardown that will only replace a single component, especially the crankshaft. Typically an engine suffers a great amount of damage when a major component, like the crankshaft, is damaged. If there is ANY indication of heating outside of the normal range, you may have slighly warped the block and you'll need to "align bore" it for the new crankshaft. This is not a good place to plan on an inexpensive repair.
What is reverse taper in splines?
This means that it is the opposite of the normal direction that a taper goes. Example; If a normal taper goes to the left, a reverse taper goes to the right.
