In the industrial field we at Coastal Plating know that it is important for you to have top running equipment. When it comes to reconditioning your system sending it to a company with years of knowledge is something that should be accounted for.

We realize that you have a choice in what company you wish to do business with so it is important that our work stands out compared to others. Being in the crankshaft repair industry for over 55 years we know that a satisfied customer is important to us. We not only have a quality control that oversees your crankshaft through the process of being repaired but also a managerial staff that looks over the finished product before shipped to you. Your downtime is important to Coastal Plating so fast turnaround time can be taken into consideration when consulting with one of our representatives.

GRINDING AND BALANCING

After chrome plating, each surface is individually ground to bring it into precise conformity with written specifications and O.E.M. standards. Coastal Plating machinery- much of it imported from Italy- permits the bearing surfaces and journals to be ground to a tolerance of .0002 of an inch.

After grinding, a final Magnaflux examination is performed to insure no flaws exist in any portion of their crankshaft. The shaft is then dynamically balanced so it will run smoothly without vibration or pounding at ALL operating speeds. Also post grinding, the chrome plated surfaces are lapped and polished to make certain all journals, pulley and gear fits and bolt holes are perfect and meet factory standards. A final inspection is made and the written report is personally checked by Coastal Plating Management.

When the crankshaft repair passes final inspection it is immediately painted with a rust-proof treatment for protection in transit or storage, and prepared for shipment back to your job site. Coastal Plating realizes how vital it is to have your crankshaft repaired right the first time, so you may re-assemble your engine and get going again. For this reason no craftsman, no machine operator, no supervisor will permit the restoration process to continue until each stage of workmanship is PERFECT.
