🔌 Function

The bearing shells support the crankshaft, maintain the lubricating-oil clearance and carry combustion and inertia loads.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Deep crankshaft knock
• Bearing material in the oil filter
• Scored or heat-discoloured main journal
• Incorrect grade produces excessive or insufficient clearance

🛠️ Service Notes

• Have the crankshaft journals measured before ordering so the kit matches the journal size — standard and reground shells are not interchangeable, and neither is a mixed set
• Fit the shells dry behind: clean the saddles and caps, wipe the shell backs, and never oil, grease or scrape the back of a shell, which stops it shedding heat and can let it move in the housing
• Check that each locating tang drops into its notch and the shell sits flush, and keep grooved, plain and flanged halves where the workshop manual for your engine puts them
• Oil the running and thrust faces, refit each cap in its original position and direction, and tighten in the manual's sequence to the torque and angle it specifies, renewing the bolts where they are single-use
• Check running clearance and crankshaft endfloat by the method in the manual and confirm the crank turns freely by hand before the sump goes back — and establish why the old bearings failed, because most repeat failures are oil supply or dirt rather than the bearings
