Daihatsu marine engines are widely used in commercial vessels, tugboats, ferries, and port service ships due to their reliability and compact design. However, when crankshaft journals become worn or damaged, even a dependable engine can grind to a halt—unless fast, onsite crankshaft grinding is available.
At Panesar Crankshaft Centre, we offer in situ crankshaft grinding for Daihatsu engines, helping operators restore engine performance quickly—without dismantling or removing the crankshaft.
Why In Situ Crankshaft Grinding Matters
Crankshaft damage caused by bearing failure, overheating, or oil starvation can lead to misalignment and reduced engine efficiency. Traditional workshop repairs require engine disassembly and shipping delays. Our onsite grinding method allows precision reconditioning while the crankshaft remains in place—minimizing cost and downtime.
