This Orion Motor Tech kit combines a crankcase splitter, crankshaft installer, adapters, screws and rods so you can perform both operations with control and without marring housings or bearings. The tools are built from AISI 1045 steel with chrome plating and blackening for improved wear and corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 360° adjustable-arm design make crankcase splitting easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three adjustable arms rotate around the central hub to match a wide variety of bolt patterns, so you can apply even, centered force when separating crankcase halves. That balanced pull reduces the risk of twisting or snagging internal parts and helps preserve gasket surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree arms pivot 360 degrees to match bolt hole layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEven force distribution avoids tilting or binding of cases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility with many 2‑stroke and 4‑stroke engines (see exclusions).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated AISI 1045 steel resists bending and corrosion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this kit to install a crankshaft without damaging bearings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the kit includes a crankshaft installer, adapters and the proper M10\/M12 screws to draw the crank assembly into the case squarely, minimizing side load on bearings. Using the correct adapter and bolts keeps the force centered on the crank journal instead of the bearing inner race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree crankshaft adapters fit a range of journal sizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM10 and M12 screws provide strong, controlled draw force.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel rods and bolts steady alignment during installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to reduce impact and pry damage to bearing surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat components are included and how will they speed my workflow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 15-piece set supplies the most common hardware you need so you won’t have to jury‑rig spacers or hunt for matching bolts during a tear‑down or reassembly. Having dedicated adapters and rods on hand shortens downtime and improves repeatability across jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrankcase splitter hub with three adjustable arms and fasteners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrankshaft installer body and three journal adapters for secure seating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM6\/M8 bolts, M10\/M12 screws and two steel rods for alignment and draw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact kit arrangement for workshop or mobile use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there any engines this tool will not fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the tool is broadly compatible, a few models are excluded due to unique crank spacing or bolt patterns. It’s not suitable for YMH Raptor 660, Kawasaki Tecate 250, or KTM 125\/144\/150. For other makes and models, confirm bolt spacing and adapter size before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot compatible: YMH Raptor 660, Kawasaki Tecate 250, KTM 125\/144\/150.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck crankcase bolt pattern and journal diameter prior to work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdapters and arms cover most common small-engine variations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for?
