🔧 Product Description

🚤 Compatibility

  • Engine Family: D, TWD, TAMD, TAD

Full model list at the end of this description.

⚙️ Key Features

  • Precision bronze-type piston-pin bushing
  • Installed in the connecting-rod small end
  • Supersedes earlier bushing 470304
  • Requires alignment checking and finish reaming after installation
  • Available individually and in six-piece aftermarket sets
  • Engine type: Volvo Penta 12-litre diesel

🔌 Function

Supports the piston pin in the connecting rod while maintaining the specified lubricated running clearance.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Piston-pin knock
  • Excessive pin or small-end clearance
  • Scoring, ovality or bushing movement
  • Metallic debris in the engine oil
  • Uneven piston or connecting-rod wear

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Check the housing bore and the shaft or pin that runs in the bushing before fitting a new one; a worn or scored mating part will chew out a new bushing quickly
  • Press bushings in squarely with a press and a correctly sized drift or mandrel — hammering one straight in distorts it and ruins the fit
  • Where the bushing has an oil hole, groove or slot, line it up with the feed in the housing before it is pressed home
  • Lubricate on assembly with the oil or grease specified for that part of the engine or drive, and follow the manual if it calls for the bore to be checked or sized after fitting
  • Do not soak a self-lubricating bushing in solvent or degreaser, and keep sealant and thread lock off the running surface
