Skoots CTS-325 Universal Crankshaft Truing Stand
The Skoots CTS-325 Universal Crankshaft Truing Stand is built for checking crankshaft runout, crank alignment, and crank balance across a wide range of crankshaft sizes.
The CTS-325 expands on our universal stand design with height-adjustable bearing uprights, allowing the roller position to be raised or lowered to better accommodate crankshafts with different main-journal diameters. Combined with adjustable upright spacing and multiple base configurations, this gives engine builders much greater flexibility when working with crankshafts of different lengths, widths, and journal sizes.
Designed for engine builders, mechanics, tuners, and machine shops, the CTS-325 provides a rigid bench-top platform for measuring TIR, checking crankshaft alignment, and verifying crank balance before final engine assembly.
Dial indicator and magnetic base are NOT included.
Why builders use it:
• Height-adjustable uprights accommodate different crankshaft journal diameters
• Adjustable upright spacing accommodates different crankshaft widths
• Multiple setup configurations accommodate short and long crankshafts
• Helps check crankshaft runout, alignment, and balance
• Dual sealed ball bearing rollers provide smooth crankshaft rotation
• Integrated steel mounting plates for magnetic-base dial indicators
• Rigid bench-top base provides stable, repeatable readings
• Non-slip silicone feet help reduce movement and vibration
• Stores together as one complete stand system
• Made in the USA by Skoots
Perfect for:
• Measuring TIR — total indicated runout
• Checking crankshaft main journals, crank webs, and pins
• Truing pressed crankshafts after rebuilds
• Checking crankshaft balance before final assembly
• Verifying crank alignment before installing bearings, seals, and cases
• Working with crankshafts that have different main-journal diameters
• Automotive, motorcycle, powersports, and machine-shop crankshaft work
• Engine builders who need a versatile, dedicated crankshaft inspection fixture
Key features:
• Height-adjustable bearing uprights for different crankshaft journal diameters
• Adjustable upright spacing for different crankshaft widths
• Multiple base configurations for different crankshaft lengths
• Sealed ball bearing rollers on both uprights
• Smooth bearing rotation for runout, alignment, and balance checks
• Integrated steel plates for magnetic-base dial indicator placement
• No clamp-style indicator setup required
• Rigid base design for stable, repeatable measurements
• Non-marring silicone feet protect your bench and help reduce vibration
• Works with analog or digital dial indicators
• Magnetic-base dial indicator recommended
• Made in the USA

How to use:
1. Choose the base configuration that best supports your crankshaft length.
2. Set the upright spacing so both main journals are supported by the bearing rollers.
3. Adjust the upright height as needed for the crankshaft’s journal diameter.
4. Attach your magnetic-base dial indicator to one of the integrated steel plates.
5. Zero the indicator on the journal, crank web, or pin.
6. Rotate the crankshaft and read TIR.
7. Adjust the crankshaft as needed until it is within your required specification.
8. Use the smooth bearing rollers to check crankshaft alignment and balance before final assembly.
Fitment note:
The CTS-325 is a universal crankshaft measuring and setup tool designed to accommodate a broad range of crankshaft lengths, widths, and journal diameters. It is not a vehicle-specific replacement part.
Please compare your crankshaft dimensions with the stand’s adjustment range before ordering. If you are unsure whether your crankshaft will fit, message Skoots with your crankshaft measurements and we can help verify fitment.
