Crankshaft Subassembly — The fully machined and balanced rotating core of the WP12 engine, comprising the forged crankshaft, integral counterweights, and precision-ground main and connecting rod journals. This subassembly is manufactured from high-grade micro-alloy steel, heat-treated for optimum strength and toughness. It features induction-hardened fillet radii to resist fatigue cracking, and all oil passages are deburred and polished for optimal lubrication. The subassembly is dynamically balanced to within 0.5 g·mm, ensuring smooth operation at all engine speeds. It includes pre-fitted keyways and dowel holes for accurate installation of the timing gear and flywheel. This component is the foundation of the entire rotating system, converting piston thrust into usable torque with minimal energy loss.

Pulling Rivet — A specialized high-strength fastener used to secure the crankshaft gear or other components to the crankshaft nose. Manufactured from hardened alloy steel with a corrosion-resistant coating, this rivet provides a permanent, vibration-proof connection that withstands the high torsional loads and temperature fluctuations typical of heavy-duty engine operation. The pulling rivet design ensures positive locking and eliminates the risk of loosening over time. It is installed using a hydraulic or manual puller tool, ensuring accurate seating and consistent clamping force. This rivet is critical for maintaining the integrity of the timing drive system, preventing catastrophic failures due to gear slippage or misalignment.
