Crankshaft Main Bearing Cap Bolt
A crankshaft main bearing cap bolt is a crucial component of an internal combustion engine that helps secure the crankshaft main bearing caps in place. These bolts are usually made of high-strength steel and are torqued to a specific value during engine assembly to ensure proper clamping force. The function of the crankshaft main bearing cap bolt is to prevent the main bearing caps from moving or shifting under the extreme forces and vibrations generated by the engine's rotating assembly. The crankshaft main bearing caps are responsible for supporting the crankshaft, which in turn transfers power from the pistons to the transmission. If the bearing caps were to become loose or shift, this could lead to catastrophic engine failure. Therefore, it is crucial that the main bearing cap bolts are properly torqued and installed to maintain the integrity of the engine's rotating assembly.
