A knocking bottom end, oil pressure that falls away when hot, glitter in the drain oil or a crank that no longer turns freely all point to journal damage. Once a journal is scored or oval, grinding undersize is the only repair and a replacement crank is often the simpler route.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine code\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOM642\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eListed applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMercedes-Benz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOE \/ cross-reference numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA6420302601\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplier part number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWS-442A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrankshaft length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e491.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty (as stated)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 year or 10,000 KM, whichever comes first\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment checks before ordering\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrankshafts are not interchangeable on engine capacity alone.
