Titan 370 crankshafts
Continental Motors manufactures the crankshaft for the 370 cubic inch displacement engines. The displacement is 370, not 371, just 370. There are two variants: non-counterweighted or, for the high compression engines, forged with counterweight blades and equipped with counterweights. The high compression 370 engines also have oil squirts to the underside of the pistons to aid in cooling them. The counterweights are there to mitigate the harmonic frequency of the engine at certain power settings that could have adverse effect on metal propellers.
We plug the 370 crankshaft for either fixed pitch and constant speed props. depending on the customer requirement. They have been in service since 2011 without any problems.
