Product Overview: This nodular cast iron engine crankshaft is a direct-fit replacement component engineered for Chevrolet X16XE X16XEL X16SZR engines. 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: The crankshaft is CNC-machined on precision centres to hold main and rod journal diameters, fillet radii, stroke and end-float within original equipment limits. The journals are ground, hardened and micro-polished so the bearing shells receive a consistent oil film and run quietly from the first start. Consistent production tolerances mean the part can be fitted without the trial-and-error often associated with low-grade replacements. Each unit is checked for straightness and surface finish, then protected with anti-rust oil for transit.
Vehicle Compatibility: This part is listed for Chevrolet, covering model families such as Automotive Engine Internal Rebuild Parts. The same engine family was produced in more than one revision, so verify the engine code and original part number against the removed component before ordering. Early and late builds of the same engine can use different revisions, so identification from the original component is essential.
Specifications: Key specifications: engine code X16XE X16XEL X16SZR; displacement 1.6L; material High Strength Nodular Cast Iron; size STD; condition New; warranty 12 Months, 12 Months. Measured characteristics include main journal diameter Standard Size Matches OEM. The component is a new part rather than a reconditioned exchange unit.
OEM / Reference Numbers: No alternative reference numbers are published for this listing; identification should be made from the engine code and vehicle application details.
Applications: It is suited to engine rebuilds, in-frame overhauls, fleet servicing and the repair of engines that have suffered bearing seizure or crankshaft damage.
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. The repair stays within original equipment specification, which is important for vehicles that remain in daily commercial service.
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. Fit new bearing shells, verify clearances against factory limits, and torque the caps in the specified order. Record the fitted part number and mileage in the service history so future maintenance references the correct replacement. Leave the protective coating in place until assembly and handle the shaft carefully to prevent nicks on the journals.
