How to choose engine crankcase protection for a car?

Let's consider the main criteria for choosing crankcase protection .

1. Material

• Steel: the most common and affordable material. Steel protection is strong and reliable, but heavy.
• Aluminum: a lighter and more corrosion-resistant material than steel. Aluminum protection does not rust, but is more expensive.
• Composite materials: for example, carbon or fiberglass. Such protections are light and strong, but the most expensive.

2. Thickness

• 2-3 mm: optimal thickness for crankcase protection.
• 4mm and above: Thick guards provide better protection but add weight.

3. Fastening

• The protection must be attached to the car body, not to the subframe.
• The fastening must be reliable so that the protection does not come off during an impact.

4. Form

• The protection must correspond to the model of your car.
• It must cover the crankcase tray from all sides.

5. Manufacturer

• Choose protection from well-known manufacturers that have a good reputation.

6. Price

• The price of crankcase protection depends on the material, thickness, manufacturer and other factors.

Advice

• Read reviews from other users before buying crankcase protection.
• Have the crankcase guard serviced to ensure it is properly installed.

Crankcase protection is an important element that will help you keep the crankcase pan from damage. When choosing a crankcase guard, consider material, thickness, mounting, shape, manufacturer, and price.

Additional factors:

• Operating conditions: If you often drive off-road, then you need stronger protection.
• Clearance: The protection should not reduce the ground clearance of your vehicle.

Remember: crankcase protection is not a panacea. It will not protect the crankcase pan from absolutely all damages, but it can significantly reduce the risk of their occurrence.
