The above repair work on the DEUTZ SBV 12M 628 crankshaft was carried out successfully without removing the crankshaft from the engine. Precision grinding and polishing ensured that all crankpins were brought within acceptable limits with minimum ovality and proper surface finish. Following assembly with undersized bearings supplied by the client, the engine was commissioned successfully and is running satisfactorily.
