Crankcase
The crankcase is a fundamental component of your vehicle’s engine, serving as the housing for the crankshaft and other critical engine parts. Located at the bottom of the engine block, the crankcase encloses the crankshaft and is essential for housing the oil that lubricates the engine components. This auto part is crucial for maintaining engine efficiency and longevity by providing a sealed environment that prevents oil leaks and protects the crankshaft from dirt and debris.
Functionally, the crankcase supports the crankshaft, which converts the linear motion of the pistons into rotational motion that powers the vehicle. It also contains the oil pump and helps to manage the flow of oil throughout the engine. Over time, the crankcase can suffer from wear and tear, such as cracks or gasket failures, often due to excessive heat, pressure, or age. Symptoms of crankcase issues include oil leaks, unusual engine noises, or reduced engine performance.
