Crankshaft and Main Bearings
Page 632 of 3229

The crankshaft is made of forged s teel and has induction hardened bearing s urfaces . There are 2 types of aluminium main bearing:
W it h complet e oil duct s for upper main bearings 2, 3, 5 and 6W it h short oil ducts for all lower and 1, 4 and 7 upper main bearings
Due t o mis s ing count er-weight s for cylinders 1 and 6 and s elected count er-balancing of the entire crankshaft , main bearings 1, 4and 7 are exposed t o great er loads t han the ot hers. To reduce t he load on the bearings , bearing shells wit h s hort oil duct s areus ed. In addit ion, these main bearings have t heir own oil circuit where t he oil is not dis tribut ed on t o t he connecting rod bearings.The 6t h main bearing als o works as a t hrus t bearing.
A gear wheel is crimped to t he rear edge of the crankshaft . The gear wheel drives t he oil pump and the Rear End Ancillary Drive(READ) t iming gear.
The crankshaft has a vis cous vibration damper locat ed directly in front of t he connecting rod pin for cylinder 1, i.e. located in theact ual cylinder block.
Crankshaft Vibration Damper and Cooling Valve
Page 633 of 3229

ItemPart NumberDescription1-Cranks haft vibration damper2-Cranks haft vibration damper cooling valveOne of t he remedies for obt aining a compact engine unit is to place the crankshaft vibrat ion damper inside t he engine block. Thedamper has been pos itioned at t he front of the crankshaft bet ween t he end and t he connect ing rod pin for t he crankshaft forcylinder 1.
ItemPart NumberDescription1-Front hous ing2-Solid s t eel ring3-Plas t ic bearing4-Rear hous ingThe damper consis ts of a s olid st eel ring, placed in an enclos ed hous ing filled wit h s ilicon fluid. The ring is radially journaledthrough a plas t ic bearing. There are but t ons on t he front and rear s ide s urfaces, 4 on each side. These but tons are axiallyjournaled.
The t ask of the damper is t o even out fast unwanted increases and reduct ions in speed (i.e. cranks haft os cillat ions ) and t o givethe crankshaft a s moot her operat ion.
W hen the rotat ion speed of the crankshaft increas es or reduces quickly, t he change in s peed of t he st eel ring is delayed due tothe high vis cos ity of t he silicon fluid. The funct ion of the damper is bas ed on t he braking effect of t he s ilicon fluid and the s t eelring's own inert ia. W hen the ring moves in t he silicon fluid in t he damper hous ing, a large amount of heat is generated t hat mus tbe routed away.

ItemPart NumberDescription1-ValveBecause the damper is locat ed in an environment where t he normal operat ing temperat ure can reach approximat ely 140°C (284°F),coupled wit h t he fact that t he damper also generates it s own heat, it is neces sary for it t o be oil cooled. A s eparat e oil circuitroutes oil from the engine's oil cooler t o a valve in t he engine block, which opens at approximat ely 2 bar. The oil t hen flows t o 3jet s, located on t he cranks haft vibrat ion damper cooling pipe, which then directs the oil t o the lower s ect ion of t he damper.
The oil flows t hrough the jets at approximately 12 lit ers per minute.
At high t emperat ures , oil cooling reduces t he damper t emperat ure by approximat ely 7°C (45°F).
