Abstract

A method of broaching the surfaces of crankcase halves to permit upper and lower halves to be subsequently assembled in random pairs as a crankcase for use in an internal combustion engine. Each of the halves is broached along an essentially flat mating portion and main bearing half bores. The broached halves are then assembled together along their respective mating surfaces.
