FAQ
Is this crankshaft compatible with hybrid models?
Yes, the kit is approved for hybrid variants such as the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and Kia Optima Hybrid, providing the same OE specifications and durability.
Do I need to replace the timing chain when installing this kit?
While not mandatory, it is recommended to inspect the timing chain and related tensioners during installation. Replacing them ensures optimal synchronization and extends overall engine life.
Can I install the kit myself without professional tools?
The installation requires torque wrenches, bearing pullers, and a crankshaft holding fixture. If you have the proper tools and experience with engine rebuilds, a DIY installation is feasible, but professional assistance is advised for best results.
What warranty does DanVard provide for this crankshaft kit?
DanVard offers a limited 12‑month warranty covering manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation or external factors.
How does the sharp‑tipped tooth differ from standard crankshafts?
The sharp‑tipped tooth is engineered to engage precisely with the timing gear, reducing slippage and wear. Standard crankshafts often use a broader tooth profile that may not align as accurately in high‑stress applications.
