The Acura Legend Crankshaft is the engine's highly important translator and changes the back and forth motions of the pistons into the smooth motion drivers eventually end up with at the wheels. Sitting low in the block, it carries offset crank throws on which the connecting rods clamp, and each turn converts linear force into rotation for the transmission and axles. The Crankshaft's journals run in smooth bearings, and because of this, the Crankshaft must be kept in tip-top shape of lubrication as grit or low oil can score up surfaces, widening clearances and causing metal to metal knock (harsh vibration). Two material styles were seen through Acura Legend years, a sturdy cast-iron Crankshaft for the lower output trims and a tougher forged-steel version as a special reserve for the higher horsepower editions, the latter resisting stress and high rpm flex much better than the lighter casting. Both versions should last the life of the vehicle if routine oil changes are observed. However, a severe vibration is the sign that a full replacement may be needed, a difficult task that requires removal of the engine, sequencing of the bearing caps, and careful greasing of the journal bearings, as well as precise torque on reassembly to ensure the new Acura heart spins freely so that the Legend can continue to run smoothly with its rejuvenated Crankshaft.
