## 🔌 Function

The bearing bracket forms a rigid mount that holds a bearing at a fixed point on the engine, maintaining correct shaft or pulley alignment. Accurate location prevents belt misalignment and uneven bearing loading during operation.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Cracks or fractures around the mounting holes or bracket body
-   Elongated, worn or corroded bolt holes allowing the bracket to shift
-   Noise, vibration or belt squeal caused by misalignment
-   Visible movement or play in the bearing supported by the bracket
-   Repeated premature failure of the associated bearing or belt

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Six of these brackets are fitted per cylinder head on this engine - count what's actually on the head before ordering a single replacement
-   Torque evenly across the fixings so the rocker shaft running through the bracket isn't pinched, and confirm the oil feed passage through it is clear before final assembly
