Where is the Ford Model A crankshaft made?
It is a very well made and well-machined item, but as you might guess, it is made in China (by an OEM professional crankshaft producer). The perceived quality appearance and workmanship of this new crankshaft is far superior to any original Ford Model A crankshaft I have ever seen.
What kind of crankshaft does a Ford Model B have?
The Model B crankshaft was used with poured and machined babbitt bearings, and a splash and gravity oiling system, similar to the Model A Ford engine. Also for comparison, an original Ford-Köln G28T-6303-B2 counterweighted crankshaft is pictured above.
What material is the crankshaft made of?
The crankshaft is forged from 4340 alloy steel and heat treated. It is a very well made and well-machined item, but as you might guess, it is made in China (by an OEM professional crankshaft producer).
Why don't all Ford crankshaft bearings have the same size?
The reason is because earlier insert bearing conversions were adapted from other bearing applications, and were not based on original Model A Ford crankshaft sizes. Using traditional undersized insert bearings would require the brand new crankshaft to be ground an additional 0.002 inch smaller in diameter.
