End Bracket
The upper and lower end brackets are manufactured from high tensile cast iron. The upper and
lower portions of the end brackets use a press fit; and 4 bolts per main journal to provide the
crankshaft with a strong and rigid structure to contain the high combustion forces of the diesel
engine.
The cylinder block will be damaged or
deformed by loosening the bolts
connecting the cylinder block with the
upper portion of the end bracket .
