🔌 Function

The bearing sleeve forms a replaceable, close-tolerance bearing surface that supports a rotating shaft within the engine's lubricating and oil system. Maintaining the correct clearance at this point is what allows the oil pump assembly to build and hold pressure.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Low or fluctuating engine oil pressure
• Visible scoring, grooving or bluing on the bearing surface
• Excessive shaft play or increased radial clearance when measured
• Whining, rumbling or knocking noise from the oil pump area
• Metal particles or bearing material found in the oil or filter

🛠️ Service Notes

• At 0.32 kg this is a heavier sleeve than most in this range, in line with the wider bore needed to also cover the 45-series engines alongside the 30-44 range this part serves
• Check the shaft journal for wear or taper before fitting - a worn journal will wipe a new sleeve
