05197975- Connecting Rod Bearing Shell Set

The Connecting Rod Bearing Shell Set sets the clearance between the connecting rod and the running surface of the crankshaft rod journal.

HOW IT WORKS

The connecting rod bearings connect the piston to the crankshaft to create a rotational motion in the engine while reducing friction and allowing for smooth operation.

WHY IT MATTERS

The connecting rod bearings provide a smooth surface for the connecting rod to turn about the crankshaft. A smooth surface reduces friction to smooth and optimize crankshaft performance.

BENEFITS

• Helps keep the connecting rod and piston moving freely with every rotation of the crankshaft
• Helps secure the connecting rod and piston
• Supports the smooth rotation of the engine’s crankshaft
• Reduces friction and wear for extended component life
• Smooth friction-free rotation of the connecting rods
• Cost-effective maintenance
• MTU genuine part
• Built to original factory specifications

SIGNS OF NEEDING REPLACEMENT

• Failure of the connecting rod
• Failure of the crankshaft
• Engine seizure
• Excessive engine noise
• Excessive scoring or other physical damage

CAUSES OF FAILURE

• Overheating due to lack of oil supply
• Improper installation
• Improper time limits
• Poor maintenance practices
• Normal wear and age
• Fuel or coolant contamination of the oil
