ELRING 897.450 BOLT SET, CRANKSHAFT BRACKETS

ELRING 897.450 Bolt Set – Crankshaft Brackets

The ELRING 897.450 Bolt Set is a precision-engineered assembly designed to secure the crankshaft brackets in high-performance engines. Crafted from premium alloy steel, each bolt delivers exceptional strength and durability, ensuring reliable operation under demanding conditions.

Key Features

• Material Quality: High-grade alloy steel with a protective coating to resist corrosion and wear.
• Thread Specification: M10x1.5 threads, 80 mm length – compatible with standard crankshaft bracket designs.
• Load Capacity: Designed to withstand high torque loads typical in automotive and marine engines.
• Precision Machining: Tight tolerances guarantee a perfect fit on the crankshaft bracket mounting surfaces.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including Audi, Volvo, VW, and other OEM models that use the 897.450 specification.

Application Scope

The bolt set is integral to the assembly of crankshaft brackets in engines where stability and alignment are critical. It is commonly used in:

• Passenger cars – ensuring smooth power delivery and reducing vibration.
• Commercial vehicles – maintaining engine integrity under heavy load conditions.
• Marine propulsion systems – providing robust fastening for high-revving engines.

Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Clean the mounting surfaces to remove oil, dirt, and old gasket material.
2. Alignment: Position the crankshaft bracket accurately on the engine block.
3. Bolt Placement: Insert each bolt through the designated holes, ensuring correct orientation.
4. Tightening Sequence: Follow a cross-pattern tightening sequence to distribute load evenly. Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer’s specified value (typically around 120 Nm for M10 bolts).
5. Final Check: Verify that all bolts are uniformly tightened and that no play exists in the bracket assembly.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect bolts periodically for signs of wear or loosening, especially after high-performance driving sessions.
• Reapply protective coating if corrosion is detected to extend bolt life.
• Avoid over-tightening; excessive torque can strip threads or damage the bracket mounting surface.
