This Kit-Bearing & Wick is essential for maintaining proper lubrication and reducing friction within specific rotating components of CAT engines. Manufactured to meet high-quality standards, it ensures effective sealing and oil retention, unlike worn bearings that can cause excessive play and contamination. Operators might observe increased noise, overheating, or reduced component lifespan if this kit fails.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The initial symptom of a failing bearing and wick kit might be an increase in operational noise or a slight increase in operating temperature for the affected component. If ignored, the lack of proper lubrication can lead to accelerated wear, increased friction, and potential seizure of the rotating part.
Properly saturate the wick with the recommended lubricant before installation to ensure immediate lubrication upon startup. Ensure the bearing is seated fully and squarely in its housing to prevent binding or uneven wear.
Inspect the shaft or journal that the bearing runs on for scoring or wear when replacing the bearing and wick kit.
