Connecting Rod Bearing Set – Standard for Perkins Diesel Engines

Description

When your engine’s running rough or you’re hearing that telltale knock under load, it’s often the connecting rod bearings calling for help. These critical engine components take a beating from the constant up-and-down motion of the pistons, and worn bearings can turn a reliable workhorse into an expensive rebuild project. This standard-size bearing set gets you back to smooth operation without the cost of machine work.

What You’re Getting

• Standard bore size – no machine work needed if your crank journals are still in spec
• Precision-manufactured bearing shells designed to handle the loads of diesel operation
• Quality construction that meets or exceeds original equipment specifications
• Complete set covers all connecting rods in your engine rebuild

Built for Real Farm Work

These bearings are engineered for Perkins diesel engines that power countless tractors, combines, and other agricultural equipment. Whether you’re rebuilding a loader tractor that’s been moving feed bunks all winter or overhauling the engine in your harvest equipment, proper bearings are essential for keeping oil pressure up and metal parts from grinding together.

Made to Last

Engine bearings live in one of the toughest environments imaginable – high heat, constant pressure, and contaminated oil. These bearings feature the right material composition and surface treatments to handle years of hard work, provided you keep up with regular oil changes and maintain proper clearances.

Good to Know

Always check your crankshaft journals with a micrometer before installing standard bearings – if they’re worn beyond spec, you’ll need undersize bearings and machine work. Take time to clean everything thoroughly during assembly, and don’t forget to prime the oil system before first startup. Proper break-in procedures will help these bearings last for years of reliable service.
