Re: Another myth put out to pasture
itslow>>>Imagine how much floor space would be consumed if the cranks were stored horizontally.>>>
OK, I imagine they wouldn't take up that much space if horizontally nested or just piled in a mountain of cranks in a corner somewhere. Carefully of course. And also no higher than the yield point of the cranks at the very bottom of the pile. 8^) Jack E/NJ |

Re: Another myth put out to pasture
Ford wouldn't have had the cranks around for very long. They would have been into cars and out the door in very little time. I'm terrible for storage, I just let 'em lie on the shelf.

Re: Another myth put out to pasture
Do a Google Search for "locomotive crankshaft storage", the click on Google Images, first one I saw was of about 5 Locomotive cranks stored horizontally, and only supported on/near the ends.

How about one from a ship? Sizes are increased compared to an automobile, but the concept and principles are the same.

Re: Another myth put out to pasture
My point is they don't seem to be concerned with the crank deflection

Bet my crank is bigger than your's. Looks like each big end in this photo gets it's own oil puddle. Jack E/NJ |

Re: Another myth put out to pasture
I saw that ship engine crankshaft too. The crankshaft weighs 300 tons. 38 bore x 98 inch stroke. 7790 HP for each of the 14 cylinders. I'd like to see the machine that grinds that crank.
