A failure in the crankshaft or piston connecting rods typically produces loud knocking or banging sounds

the engine and represents expensive repairs in the form of an engine rebuild or replacement.
It is typically connected to a flywheel to reduce the pulsation characteristic of the four-stroke cycle, and sometimes a torsional or vibrational damper at the opposite end,

reduce the torsional vibrations.
The crankshaft, sometimes casually called the crank, is the part of an engine which changes the up and

motion of the pistons into rotation.
To convert the motion, the crankshaft has one or more offset shafts. The pistons are connected to the crankshaft
by

these shafts.
When the piston moves

from

to
up
and down, it pushes the offset shaft. This in turn rotates the crankshaft. The pistons cause a pulsing affect

the rotation.
