This is a grooved main bearing designed for the intermediate position within an engine's crankshaft assembly. It is manufactured to meet stringent OEM specifications, ensuring superior durability and performance compared to a worn or damaged bearing which can lead to increased friction and oil clearance. Symptoms of a failing bearing include a distinct knocking or rattling sound from the engine, especially under load, and a drop in oil pressure.
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.
A noticeable increase in engine noise, often described as a deep knock or rattle, is the first sign of a failing main bearing. If left unaddressed, this noise will intensify, and oil pressure may begin to drop, indicating increased internal wear. Continued operation risks significant crankshaft and bearing journal damage.
Ensure the crankshaft journals are meticulously cleaned and inspected for any imperfections before installation. Avoid using abrasive materials during cleaning, as this can damage the bearing surface.
Inspect the crankshaft journals for wear and scoring, and check connecting rod bearings for proper clearance.
