Inspection of the crankshaft of Daihatsu 8DK-28
- Two numbers of crankpin bearings were reported damaged.
- On inspection of the crank pins excessive ovality was observed and at the same time, it was jointly decided to check the remaining six crank pins.
- On inspection of all the crankpins eight numbers were observed to have excessive ovality against the standard diameter of 235 mm, we observed dimensions of 234.72 m to 234.86 mm hence it was decided to undertake the grinding of all eight crankpins.

- All other parameters have been found within limits.
- RA Power Solution team of technicians successfully executed the repair of eight crankpins in six days only.
