Second-Hand Connecting Rods | Repair of Connecting Rods | Reconditioning of Connecting Rods – RA Power Solutions

Connecting rods of high capacity, main and auxiliary engines are repaired by RA Power Solutions. Connecting rods during the operation of the engine are heavily stressed, transmitting power generated in the combustion chamber to the crankshaft. It is important that periodically or at the time of general overhauling, the condition of the connecting rod is checked, and either it is replaced or connecting rod is reconditioned.

RA Power Solutions has four decades of experience in reconditioning of connecting rods up to the bore size of 500 mm.

Following process is adopted for successful reconditioning of connecting rods:

  • Connecting rod is subject to chemical cleaning and shot blasting after dismantling.
  • The big end and small end bore of connecting rod are checked and recorded
  • Connecting rod is checked for cracks and overheating by MPI or Dye penetrant test.
  • The serration of the joining face connecting rod bolts are also subject to crack detection.
  • Center to center distance of big end bore and small end bore is also checked.
  • Straightness of connecting rod is also checked.

Repair of Crack Under Process
Repair of Crack Under Process

Recently in case of Wartsila Engine Both sides of the engine block got damaged measuring about 600 mm * 500 mm . Even the main journal housings got damaged due to accident. The engine was installed on a barge having 6 units of wartsila 12V32 engines.

Following job was done pertaining to engine block repair:-

  • The complete engine block was subjected to crack detection by MPI test by level 3 qualified technicians.
  • Main journal housings of engine block were dimensionally checked for taper and ovality was recorded.
  • The damage to engine block was so serious that we have no option but to cut off the damaged portion of the engine block.
  • The new casting piece was manufactured with the similar profile of damaged block of wartsila 12V32 and was given original profile by onsite machining. The piece was assembled by metal stitching and metal locking process.
  • All the main journal housings were corrected by onsite machining, maintaining the main journal housing bore size strictly as per the engine manufacturer’s limits.

The above engine block repair saved client considerable amount and reduced downtime.
