This crankshaft is designed for the CHEVROLET SAIL, specifically for vehicles equipped with the F16D3 engine. Always verify fitment by matching the EM No/Model (90467348 F16D3), engine code, or your vehicle VIN with the seller before purchase.
The product description identifies it as a high-quality crankshaft designed for the Chevrolet Sail but does not explicitly state OEM status. Contact the seller or supplier to confirm whether it is an OEM or aftermarket unit.
The description states it is made from top-grade materials to ensure durability and long life. For exact material composition (forged steel, cast iron, etc.), request detailed specifications from the seller or manufacturer.
Key features include design specifically for the Chevrolet Sail, construction from high-quality materials, durability for long-term use, and support for reliable engine performance.
Replace the crankshaft if you have severe journal wear, deep scoring, cracks, excessive vibration, persistent engine knocking, metal particles in the oil, or as part of a complete engine rebuild. A mechanic can inspect the crankshaft and related components to determine if replacement is necessary.
Yes. Whenever a crankshaft is replaced, you should install new main and rod bearings, seals, and gaskets to ensure proper clearances and prevent leaks. Always follow manufacturer or engine builder recommendations.
Installation requires precision measurements, correct torque specs, proper bearing clearances, and often engine timing reassembly. Unless you have advanced mechanical experience and the proper tools, have a qualified mechanic or machine shop install it.
Many replacement crankshafts are ready to install, but used or remanufactured units typically require inspection, journal polishing or grinding, and dynamic balancing. Confirm with the supplier and have a machine shop verify straightness and balance as needed.
Replacing a worn or damaged crankshaft with a quality unit will restore proper engine function and reliability. It is primarily a replacement/rebuild component rather than a high-performance upgrade unless explicitly specified by the manufacturer.
Service life depends on driving conditions, maintenance (oil changes, filtration), and installation quality. The product is described as durable and long-lasting, but actual lifespan varies—proper installation and regular engine maintenance maximize longevity.
Verify fitment by comparing the EM No/Model (90467348 F16D3), engine code (F16D3), and the vehicle VIN with the seller or parts catalog. You can also compare physical measurements or OEM part numbers if available.
Inspect journals, keyways, and splines for nicks, scoring, or shipping damage; ensure no corrosion; verify dimensions if provided; and confirm packaging protected critical surfaces. Report any damage to the seller immediately.
The product description does not state warranty or return terms. Check the seller's or manufacturer's policy for warranty coverage, return windows, and conditions prior to purchase.
It is specified for the Chevrolet Sail with the F16D3 engine. It may fit other vehicles that use the same engine and crankshaft specifications, but always confirm compatibility with part numbers and engine codes before assuming interchangeability.
Keep the crankshaft in its protective packaging until installation, store in a dry clean environment to prevent corrosion, protect journal surfaces from nicks or dents, and handle with appropriate lifting equipment due to weight and precision surfaces.
