Product Overview: This crankshaft is a precision-manufactured replacement part for Volkswagen N63 S63 engines, supplied ready for installation. Every unit is machined to factory dimensions so it can replace a fatigued, scored or bent original crankshaft as a straightforward bolt-in component.
Key Features: CNC machining holds the main and rod journals, fillet radii, stroke and end-float to original equipment tolerances for accurate assembly. The journals are ground, hardened and micro-polished so the bearing shells receive a consistent oil film and run quietly from the first start. Forged steel construction provides the stiffness needed under load, and each shaft is balanced to reduce vibration and bearing stress. Consistent production tolerances mean the part can be fitted without the trial-and-error often associated with low-grade replacements.
Vehicle Compatibility: It fits Volkswagen models including Automotive Engine Internal Rebuild Parts. Always check the engine code and the reference number on the original part against the listing to ensure the correct variant is supplied. If the vehicle is not listed, compare the engine code and original part number to identify whether the same component is used.
Specifications: Key specifications: engine code N63 S63; material High Strength Forged Steel; size STD; condition New; warranty 12 Months, 12 Months. Additional dimensional and build data includes main journal diameter Standard Size Matches OEM. It is supplied in standard size, so no undersize bearings or additional machining are required at assembly.
OEM / Reference Numbers: OEM and cross-reference numbers covered by this listing are 11212222005, 11217572875 and 11217620981.
Applications: Typical uses include engine overhauls, bottom-end rebuilds, fleet maintenance and repair of vehicles withdrawn from service because of bearing failure or bottom-end noise. It also suits preventative maintenance programmes where a failed unit is replaced before secondary damage occurs.
Benefits / Replacement Information: A new crankshaft removes the vibration, knocking and low oil pressure associated with worn journals or a bent shaft. Because the shaft is supplied in standard size and ready to fit, it avoids the lead time and expense of re-grinding an original unit. Accurate journal geometry and balance lower the load on bearings and the lubrication system, helping the rebuilt engine last.
Installation or Fitment Notes: Prior to installation, verify the reference number, measure all journals and inspect the block and bearing bores for wear or distortion. Use new bearing shells, set clearances with plastigauge or a bore gauge, and torque the main and connecting rod bolts to the manufacturer's sequence and figures. Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician using the vehicle manufacturer's procedures and torque specifications.
