This crankshaft is designed specifically as a replacement for the FORD KA 1.3L engine to restore smooth engine operation and durability.
The product is listed under part numbers XS6E-6303BB and XS6E-6303-BB.
Compatibility depends on the specific engine variant and production year. Verify fitment by matching the part number to your vehicle's VIN or by consulting the seller or a Ford parts catalog before purchase.
The crankshaft is manufactured from high-grade, durable materials suitable for engine duty. For precise metallurgy or manufacturing process details, contact the supplier.
Installation is possible for experienced DIY mechanics, but crankshaft replacement normally requires specialized tools, correct torque settings, precise balancing, and measurement of bearing clearances. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced.
Yes — proper balancing is critical for smooth operation and long life. If the crankshaft is new and pre-balanced by the manufacturer, confirm this with the seller. Many rebuilds still require dynamic balancing when assembled into the rotating assembly.
Yes. It is standard practice to replace main and rod bearings, front and rear seals, and any related hardware during crankshaft replacement or engine rebuilds to ensure proper fit and prevent leaks.
The product description states compatibility with OEM specifications. For full confirmation, request dimensional data or conformity documentation from the seller or compare it against OEM part specifications.
Core deposit policies vary by supplier. Check the seller's product listing or contact them directly to see if a core charge or core exchange is required.
Follow the engine builder or vehicle manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure, which typically includes using proper oils, avoiding high RPMs for an initial period, and inspecting for leaks or abnormal noises. Consult your service manual for exact steps.
Warranty and return policies differ by retailer or distributor. Check the seller's warranty terms, return window, and any shipping or restocking fees before buying.
Yes. The crankshaft is intended for replacement in rebuilds and repairs, provided it matches the engine's specifications and measurements required for the rebuild.
Use a micrometer and dial bore gauge to check journal diameters and a plastigauge or micrometer-based method for bearing clearances. If you are not equipped to measure these, have a professional machine shop or engine builder verify them.
Typical tools include torque wrenches, main bearing installation tools, engine hoist or support (if removing/installing an engine), and measuring tools for clearances. A professional shop will have the required specialty tools and fixtures.
Contact the retailer or supplier you purchased from immediately. Have your order number, vehicle details, and photos of any damage available. Review the seller's return and claims policy for next steps.
