About Daihatsu 8DK32 Crankshaft Repair While Sailing

Failure of a Daihatsu 8DK32 crankshaft was reported by one of our clients based in Greece. The failure was of a serious nature, as bearing material was found in the oil sump under five nos of crankpins.
In order to inspect and undertake grinding of the crankshaft of the Daihatsu 8DK32, having a standard diameter of 250.00 mm and a bearing width of 120.00 mm, two (2) technicians, along with an onsite crankshaft grinding machine and measuring instruments, were deputed and boarded the vessel at Durban anchorage.

The details of the Daihatsu 8DK32 engine crankshaft are as follows:

S. No. Crankpin Details
1 Engine Make Daihatsu
2 Engine Model 8DK32
3 Auxiliary Engine No #04
4 Crankpin Diameter Standard 250.00 MM
5 Crankpin Bearing Width 120.00 MM
6 Grinding of Crankpin Number #02, #04, #05, #06 & #08
7 Place of Execution of Grinding of Crankpin Durban, South Africa, to Mumbai Port (while sailing of the vessel)
8 Name of Shipping Company Reputed Company from Greece
9 Date of Execution 24.07.2026 to 10.08.2026

The Daihatsu 8DK32 crankshaft, after disassembly, was subjected to a detailed inspection as per our company's protocol. The main observations are as follows:

i) Bearing material was found in the oil sump of the entablature at the positions of crankpins No. 02, 04, 05, 06, and 08.

ii) The connecting rods were disassembled to facilitate the inspection of the damaged crankpins.

iii) The crankpins were subjected to dimensional inspection, and excessive ovality was observed. The crankpin dimensions are as follows:

SIZE OF CR PINS BEFORE REPAIR
A Aa C Cc B Bb Min STD Ovality
CR-1
CR-2 249.94 249.87 249.93 249.64 249.93 249.97 249.64 250.00 0.36
CR-3

iv) Due to the failure of the crankpin bearings of crankpins No. 02, 04, 05, 06, and 08 and continued running of the engine, deep scoring/line marks were observed on all the crankpins.

v) All other parameters, such as hardness, crack detection by MPI, and crankshaft deflection, were observed to be within limits.

Action Taken by RA Power Solutions to Repair the Daihatsu 8DK32 Crankshaft

i) Crankpins No. 02, 04, 05, 06, and 08 were ground undersize depending on the depth of the scoring marks.

ii) The crankpins were undersized, ranging from 0.50 mm to 2.50 mm.

iii) After grinding, all crankpins were polished to achieve the required surface finish.

iv) The final measurement of the repaired crankpins was recorded and verified against the required undersize dimensions.

Supply of Undersized Bearings for Daihatsu 8DK32 by RA Power Solutions

All the required undersize bearings were supplied by RA Power Solutions. Following the crankshaft repair and installation of the undersize bearings, the engine has been performing satisfactorily.

On-Voyage Crankshaft Repair Expertise

Our service enables marine crankshaft repair and hardness restoration while the vessel is in operation, eliminating the need for costly downtime at port. Utilizing certified engineers and state-of-the-art portable manual machinery, we ensure that your Daihatsu 8DK32 engine crankshaft is reconditioned to OEM standards during the voyage.


Precision Hardness Testing and Polishing

Hardness is verified on-site using the TIME5100 tester, guaranteeing that the main bearing journal meets or exceeds 350 HB (measured at 585 HB). The grinding and polishing process produces a highly polished surface finish (RA < 0.2 m), adhering to technical and class approval standards for marine engines.


Global, Round-the-Clock Service Availability

Whether sailing regional or transoceanic routes, our team offers emergency response and scheduled repairs worldwide, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Repairs are conducted on deck with minimal equipment footprint and maximum efficiency, ensuring quick turnaround and full operational readiness.

FAQ's of Daihatsu 8DK32 Crankshaft Repair While Sailing:


Q: How is crankshaft hardness tested during on-site repairs at sea?

A: Hardness testing is performed using the TIME5100 portable hardness tester directly on the main bearing journal during the repair process. The result for the Daihatsu 8DK32 crankshaft is measured at 585 HB, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 350 HB, ensuring compliance with OEM and class standards.

Q: What is the process for repairing a Daihatsu 8DK32 crankshaft while a vessel is sailing?

A: The repair involves manual grinding and polishing using portable electric tools, performed by certified marine engineers. Surface hardness is restored and confirmed with proper testing, and the crankshaft is finished to a highly polished state (RA < 0.2 m), all accomplished onboard to minimize downtime.

Q: When should on-site crankshaft repair be considered during a voyage?

A: On-site repair is recommended when main engine breakdowns or wear occur during navigation, especially when port access is limited or delays are costly. Our rapid-response team can mobilize 24/7 worldwide to address emergencies or scheduled maintenance needs.

Q: Where is the crankshaft repair performed, and what equipment is used?

A: All repairs are carried out onboard the vessel, typically within the engine room, using portable, non-CNC manual grinding machinery tailored to the Daihatsu 8DK32 crankshaft size and requirements. This setup allows repairs during ongoing voyages without removing the engine.

Q: What skill level is required for technicians performing the repair?

A: Repairs are conducted by certified marine engineers or highly skilled technicians, ensuring adherence to OEM Daihatsu specifications and class approval requirements. Their expertise guarantees both safety and high-quality outcomes for the repaired crankshaft.

Q: How does the service minimize downtime for the vessel?

A: By performing repairs on-site while sailing, the service eliminates time lost waiting for dockyard availability or major engine disassembly, enabling you to return swiftly to operational schedules with a reconditioned, compliant crankshaft.

Q: What types of approvals and certifications does the repair service meet?

A: All repair processes adhere to class approval standards and meet or exceed Daihatsu 8DK32 OEM specifications, ensuring that final results comply with requirements set by ship registries and marine governing bodies.
