This main bearing (thrust) is a crucial element in the engine's crankshaft assembly, controlling axial movement and supporting the crankshaft's rotation. Manufactured to meet exacting OEM standards, it provides superior wear resistance and load-bearing capacity compared to a worn bearing that may exhibit scoring, pitting, or excessive clearance. Operators might notice increased engine noise, particularly knocking sounds, or a drop in oil pressure if this bearing is failing.

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 first indication of a failing thrust main bearing is often an audible knocking or rattling noise from the engine, especially under load. As the wear progresses, this noise will become more pronounced, and oil pressure may begin to drop. Continued operation risks severe crankshaft and bearing journal damage.
Thoroughly clean the crankshaft journals and bearing bores before installing new bearings to ensure proper seating and oil film formation. Never reuse old bearing shells, even if they appear to be in good condition.
Inspect the crankshaft journals for scoring or wear, and check the oil pump and oil filter for any debris when replacing main bearings.
