🔌 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
