This is a CAT sleeve bearing designed to provide a low-friction surface for rotating shafts within engine or drive train applications. It is manufactured to meet rigorous OEM specifications, offering superior wear resistance and load-bearing capacity over a damaged or worn sleeve. Operators might observe increased oil consumption, unusual engine noise, or reduced power output when this bearing is compromised.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Never strike bearings directly — use a bearing press or driver set. Heat housing (not bearing) to ease installation. Replace bearings in sets where applicable. Check housing bore diameter before fitting — out-of-round bores destroy new bearings.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Early indications of a failing sleeve bearing can include a knocking sound from the engine or a drop in oil pressure. If ignored, the bearing can wear excessively, leading to shaft damage and potential engine seizure. Continued operation risks severe internal engine damage and costly repairs.
Ensure the bearing surfaces and the shaft are meticulously cleaned and lubricated with assembly lube before installation. Do not mix up the main and rod bearings if replacing multiple types.
Inspect the crankshaft journals and connecting rod surfaces for any signs of scoring, wear, or out-of-roundness.
